| CONTEST CREATIVE |
|
| Shycast has long standing relationships with some of the web's top designers, who bring your vision to life through close collaboration with your team. Competitions are run on the Shycast Competition Platform but are integrated seamlessly into your existing site or competition-specific micro-site. We use our tried-and-true competition templates to ensure a logical user experience. Templates are branded with your logo, colors and presentation. From the customer's perspective, the competition is completely "yours."
|
|
| TECHNICAL INTEGRATION |
|
| Shycast's open backend allows "single sign on" integration with your registration database to check credentials before allowing a competition entry. If a user fails authentication they are directed to your registration page and prompted to register.
|
|
| CONTEST MANAGEMENT |
|
| Submission routing and approval |
| We work with you to establish a routing procedure that ensures all agreed parties will have the opportunity to review submissions before they are posted live to the site. |
|
| Comment monitoring and editing |
| We continuously monitor comments for appropriateness and ensure that all postings are within the guidelines we establish together for your program. |
|
| Rejection Handling |
| Where appropriate we notify offenders and manage their participation in the competition. We keep the communities participating in your competition aware of communication boundaries and make sure they're confident that you're there to help them. |
|
| RULES AND FULFILLMENT |
|
Shycast crosses the t's and dots the i's to ensure that your program is totally compliant and dutifully handled down to the last detail:
- Contest counsel - We research any issue and determine its compliance with state and federal lottery laws and regulations.
- Official rules - We review all the material, fully understand the program goals and objectives, and create rules that protect the client and the participant.
- Winner selection - We manage the judging process, clear winners, and issue appropriate tax forms.

"Multi-national contests present cultural, legal, and administrative challenges."
Experience matters. We've collaborated with top law firms around the
world to create legal competitions that run in multiple countries, managed
across international time zones.
