others’ pinboards (i.e. a collection of ‘pins,’
usually with a common theme).
Users can either upload images from their
computer or pin things they find on the web
using the pinterest bookmarklet, pin it
button, or just a url.

  1. http://socialmediatoday.com/massarogi/1491491/pinterest-contest-guidelines-updated-what-you-need-knowDon't #1:SuggestthatPinterestsponsorsorendorsesyourbrandorthecontest.This is pretty self explanatory; Facebook requiresthesamething. Make sure youneversuggest in yourcontestcopyorcontestrulesthatPinterestendorsesorsponsorsthecontest.Don't #2:Requirepeopletopinfrom a selection—letthempintheirownstuff.Thisnewrule is a bigonebecausealmostall of thePinTo Win contestsrequiredpeopletopin a specificimage, piece of content, orchoosefrom a selection of things in ordertoenterthecontest. Under thenewguidelines, you can nolongerrequirepeopletopinspecificcontentforyourcontest.Don't #3:Makepeoplepinorrepinyourcontestrules. This is a biggie.Thismakes sense: Pinterestdoesn'twantitsusers' pinboardsfloodedwithcontestrulesfromallthedifferentconteststheyareentering. Re-pinningcontestrulesbringsnothingcreativeorinterestingtoPinterestand it can technically be seen as spam.Don't #4:Run a sweepstakeswhereeachpin, repin, board, like, orfollowrepresents an entry.This is anotherbig hit tothemanybrandsandbloggersthatrunPinTo Win contests. You can nolongerusetheseactions as a method of entryor as a form of awardingentriestocontestsbeingrundirectly on Pinterest.Don't #5:Encouragespammybehavior, such as askingparticipantstocomment. Again, thisgoesbacktoPinterestwantingtokeeptheir service clean of spam. Theywanttosteerclear of anythingthatdoesn'tbringcreativityandvaluetothePinterestcommunity.Don't #6:Ask pinnerstovotewithpins, repins, boards, orlikes. Thisrestrictionbasicallyeliminatesanyothertype of contestthatyou can run on Pinterest, since you can nolongerusePinterest as a voting platform wherethemostpins, repins, likesorcommentswins.Don't #7:Overdo it: contests can getoldfast.Thisneedsnoexplanation: don'tusePinterestsolelytoruncontests. Run fewercontestsandgiveawaysthatfocus on a highervalueproposition (withmoremeaningfulandsignificantprizes).Don't #8:Require a minimum number of pins. One is plenty.You can nolongerrequirepeopletopin a minimum number of items in ordertoenter. Again, Pinterestwantspeopletopinbased on inspirationandcreativityand not haveuserspinningmultiplepieces of contentjustbecause a contestrequires it.Do #1:RememberthatPinterestisallaboutpeoplediscoveringthingsthatinspirethem. Rewardqualitypinningoverquantity.Thisgoeshand in hand with many of the dont'smentionedabove. Pinterestisallaboutsticking to theirroots and they want people to rememberthat. Theydon't want it to become a hub for spam, sothey want people to staycreative, especiallywhenitcomes to choosingyourwinners.Do #2:Makeiteasy to getinvolved with clear and simpleinstructions.I'mgladtheymentionedthis one. Too manypeoplearestumped as to whytheircontestsfail (a post coming on thatlater), and the mainreasonisbecausetheycreatesuch a high barrier of entry.People want a quickway in and a quickway out, theydon't want to jumpthroughhoops in order to enteryourcontest. Follow the KISS methodwhenrunning a contest and youwillseeanincrease in participation.Do #3:Read Pinterest'santi-spam measures to keepyourcontestfun and useful.As Pinterestgrows, the population of spammerswithinPinterestgrows as well. Be sure to check out their blog post on fighting spam.Do #4:Check out theirbrandingguidelinesifyou'regoing to referencePinterest in anyway.The Pinterest branding guidelines are very specific, so if you plan to use the Pinterest logo or badge in any way, be sure to use them properly.ChoosingWinnersWith Pinterest'snewguidelines, youcan no longerchoosewinners of yourcontestatrandom. Pinterestwants to keepeverythingfocused on creativity, soyouwillhave to comeup with judgingguidelineswhencreating the rules for the contest. Remember, youcan'thaveothersvote on a winnereither by usingpins, repins, boards, orlikes.ContestRulesNowthatyoucan no longer run a Pin To Win contestwhereyouchoose a winneratrandom, yourcontestruleswillhave to be extremelyclear on the judgingmethods and criteria of how a winnerwill be chosen.Goals with a Pin To Win contestAs we consistentlysay, youneed to have a set of predetermined goalsin mind before running your contest.
