Looking to boost engagement and reward your community? Running a giveaway or contest with Blerp’s Vote or Auction features is a fun and interactive way to get your viewers involved. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, launching a new project, or just want to spice things up on stream, Blerp makes it easy to get your audience hyped.
Here’s how to pull it off.
Choose Your Giveaway or Contest Format
First, decide what type of prize or reward you're offering. Think digital codes, merch, exclusive content, or even a quirky challenge where the winner gets to choose your next in-game action or cosplay.
Then pick your format:
- Vote Contest: Let your viewers vote on their favorite option using bits or channel points.
- Auction Style: Let viewers bid for a prize using bits or channel points—the highest bidder wins.
Both options are built right into Blerp’s interactive extension, so you won’t need to juggle external tools.
Set It Up on Blerp
- Open your Blerp dashboard and navigate to the Experiences tab.
- Choose “Vote” or “Auction.”
- Customize the title, description, and options or items up for grabs.
- Set the duration and price of bits/beets.
Need ideas?
- For votes: “Which game should I stream next?” or “Choose the next cosplay!”
- For auctions: “Win a custom sound alert!” or “Top bidder picks my next challenge.”

- “Bidding war starts now! Who wants to win this exclusive reward?”
