Social Posts template
Social Media Contest Announcement
Announce a social media contest with clear rules and excitement. This is the exact template that ships in Nimply’s AI Content Studio — the full prompt is below, with every fill-in variable highlighted.
The full prompt
Write a social media contest announcement for [platform]. Prize: [prize]. Entry method: [entry_method]. Duration: [duration]. Rules: clearly state how to enter, eligibility, and when/how the winner will be announced. Make it exciting and easy to understand. Include a CTA that's impossible to miss. Keep under 250 words. Tone: [tone]. Add urgency with the deadline.
Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes
Getting the most from social posts templates
- The first line is the whole game: most platforms truncate at 100-140 characters, so put the hook before the fold.
- One post, one idea. Templates that try to inform, entertain, and sell at once produce mush.
- Match the platform’s native energy — a LinkedIn insight reads wrong on Threads, and vice versa. That is why these prompts are platform-specific.
- Always rewrite the generated draft’s weakest sentence yourself. The 90% draft is the product; the last 10% is your voice.
