Cutoff Entry Period - It is possible to set a period for which all entries must be submitted before actual voting starts. This is done to ensure fairness and equal exposure of all participants during the voting process.

Donations

When posting a Contest, the creator can decide whether or not participants can accept Donations from their fans. Donations can be particularly helpful depending on the kind of contests. For example, an Art Painting Contest for kids may require the use of expensive paints and it would be good if the followers/fans of the entrants are able to assist them in offsetting the cost of the required material.
