PicRounds runs photo contests at live events. Guests scan a QR code or enter a short code, see every entry on their phone, and vote for their favorites. The host watches the votes come in live, then reveals the winners on every phone at once.
No accounts, no apps to download. Costume parties, ugly sweater contests, pet contests, bake-offs, office parties, weddings and car shows all run the same way.
PicRounds started at a Halloween party, where the host wanted a costume contest and could not find a simple way to run one.
PicRounds is built for hosts. Start a contest in about a minute, put the QR code on the table, and photos and votes come in from every phone. One tap reveals the winners to the whole room.
Name it and you're in. It starts with one category, Best Overall. Add more if your event needs them.
Print the QR code, put it on the TV, or text the link. Photos go up as people arrive and guests vote from their phones.
Close voting and tap Reveal. Every phone shows the winners at the same moment.
The host adds photos, or guests snap and submit their own. Approve guest photos first if you like.
One vote per phone in each category. Guests can change their pick until voting closes.
Set a countdown with an automatic last call, or close voting yourself.
Put the QR code and entries on a big screen, then show the winners one by one.
One tap makes a fold-up table tent with your QR code and contest code.
Voters never sign up or give a name or email. Results stay hidden until the host reveals them.
Halloween costume contests, ugly sweater parties, pet photo contests, bake-offs and chili cook-offs, office parties, weddings, car shows, and any event where the crowd picks the winner.
