Additionally, can you please send us a picture of yourself that we can post with our winner announcement?
7. If they do not respond within the business day, reach out again. If they don't respond within 24 hours, let them know that you will have to pick a new winner, then pick a runner-up to contact.
8. Once you have a response, send them their prize! Prizes are usually gift cards that can be ordered and sent directly to the winner's email. Occasionally, you might need to ask the winner for their address to ship a physical prize.
9. If the winner sends you their picture, send it to Kari when requesting a winner announcement graphic. If they do not, request the graphic without the winner's picture.
Note: For the past few years, we have sent gift cards to Disney as the prize for the Magical Vacation Giveaway/Disney Dreaming Contest.
