When to use it
- The audience picks the winner (talent show, hackathon, costumes) and you want a clean, live tally.
- An informal jury votes among finalists and you need nobody voting twice.
- You want the show moment: bars moving on the projector while the room votes from their phones.
What's inside and why
- Who deserves to win?
- Single choice over the finalists: one vote per person, unambiguous tally. Multi-select here would wreck the podium.
- Why? (optional)
- The reasons give you the second prize (“the audience favorite won on stage presence”) and material for the host's closing.
Tips to get the most out of it
- Always enable “one response per device”: in a contest, the finalist's cousin WILL try to vote five times.
- Open voting after the last performance, not during: running order biases the vote if people can vote midway.
- Close with a projected countdown (Screen mode) and announce the winner from the scoreboard itself: it's the event's climax.
Frequently asked questions
How do I stop someone voting many times?
Enable “one response per device”: each browser can submit once. For an in-person contest it's the right balance between clean results and not forcing sign-ups.
Does the audience see results while voting?
Your choice. Contests work better with results hidden until closing (avoids the bandwagon effect toward the leader), then reveal the podium by projecting the Screen.
What if there's a tie?
The scoreboard shows the tie as-is, and the reasons give you an elegant tiebreaker: read a couple of arguments for each finalist and let the applause decide — or the jury criterion you announced.
