Update: New Sweeps Header

The new Sweeps home page now features how many active Sweeps we have running, how many total points we’ve awarded since the Sweeps program started and the value of the prizes awarded to date.  You’ll also notice we have a “recent winners” section which will include the profile images of those winners.

Change your profile image so your presence can be known as a recent winner.

Sweeps is constantly working to be better and more user friendly, which includes our web and Mobile applications.

Sweepstakes vs. Contests: What's the difference?

Our name is Sweeps, and we run contests and sweepstakes. But what’s the difference?

When you enter a sweepstakes, you are put in a pool of entries that has the potential to be selected as a winner. Every sweepstakes winner is randomly selected.

Contests are different; they are based on skill and content, and the finalists are chosen by our members. Our contests can either have catalog creations, posting a photo, caption a photo of our choosing and other new options coming soon. The content is based on the criteria listed in the official rules. Members “vote” for their favorites and this creates our pool of finalists. Our panel of judges then choose the winner from the finalists, based on the quality of the content and the effort put into the entry.

So in essence, sweepstakes winners are chosen randomly, contests are chosen based on skill and the quality of the content, but both are part of Sweeps.
