Gleam: Run Competitions on Your WordPress Blog

An amazing solution to run competitions on your blog using combinations of social actions.

Makeworthy Media

This plugin randomly selects a winner or winners from the comments of a giveaway post. It only lists the 100 most recent posts to reduce strain on your server. You can disqualify people who’ve entered more than once (determined by email), or reduce their entries to only one. The plugin uses MySQL’s random function RAND() to randomly select the winners directly from the database.

Pick Giveaway Winner

Full disclosure: I am the plugin author. Someone just left a 1-star review because they misunderstood what the plugin is supposed to do. I thought I'd help balance out the average by leaving my own review.
Just to be clear, this plugin randomly selects a comment from a post. It only works if you're logged into Wordpress and go to Tools -> Pick Giveaway Winner. It does not insert anything into a post/page. It does not let you ask your visitors a question. I'm leaving a 5-star review because the plugin does what it says it does.



Works as described

Randomly select a winner or winners from the comments of a giveaway post.
