Once you have received entries in your contest, it is important to begin the validation phase. This phase starts with shortlisting your top favorite entries. You can create a list of your top name choices by adding them to your shortlist (from your contest dashboard page). The shortlist process is the transition phase from Brainstorming to the Validation phase.

After your contest ends, (insert time photo on the right), you can select up to 6 names from your shortlist to take into Audience Testing. (include link explaining more)

You can add as many entries in your shortlist as you like, but we recommend that you whittle down your final list to 6 favorite entries.

Once you have created your final shortlist, you can proceed forward with our validation services. Our Validation services allow you to seek professional opinion and insights before making a final decision on your contest. These services are included at no extra cost in certain packages. Alternatively, you can purchase them separately.
