How to run a competition with Everything Theatre
It’s all very simple. Offer up a couple of tickets for your show and we’ll do the rest.
What competitions can we run?
We’re open to most suggestions. If you think you have something that might be of interest to our readers and are willing to give it as a prize for a competition, then get in touch.
Mostly, that will mean tickets for a show. We’ll consider running a competition for any production, anywhere in the country. It should be noted that our coverage, and so readership, is predominantly London-based. Therefore, whilst we will happily support shows outside of the capital, we cannot guarantee how successful these competitions will be.
Generally, we’d aim to launch a competition a minimum of four weeks ahead of a show. This allows adequate time to run the competition (which would be at least one week but longer if time allows) and communicate with the winner to arrange the tickets. Of course, we’re more than happy to do them more than a month ahead, the more time the better in our book.
Why run a competition with us?
Well, firstly because we are a great supporter of theatre, and especially fringe. So running a competition with us will give you plenty of exposure to an audience who love the same things as us. But if you want some numbers to show why it’s worthwhile donating a couple of tickets here they are:
- Our website gets an average of 25,000 visitors every month, so a perfect opportunity to have your show highlighted.
- With over 4,500 Instagram followers, plus more than one thousand on Facebook, we have a good presence with theatre lovers.

How we run competitions
Unless you ask otherwise, we will run a competition as follows:
- A unique webpage will be created to include show details, images as provided, how to enter and our Terms and Conditions (see below for details of these).
- Social media will promote the page and direct people towards it.
- Entry via a form on the webpage, just asking for name and email address.
- The successful participant will be chosen by a random number generator.
If you wish to include any different rules, please outline these to us. We will consider all requests. However, we are limited on the time we can dedicate to competitions, so if your conditions are time consuming, we may decide to decline the offer.
What you get in return for providing tickets
- A dedicated page for the competition on our website, along with show details and booking links.
- Free promotion over our social media channels.
Our standard terms and conditions for all competitions
The below will appear on all competition pages. It may be amended as necessary to fit in with the actual competition being run.
“The prize is for two tickets to a performance of [show] at [venue], on [dates to be specified] only. No alternative dates or cash alternative is available.
Competition closes at [time] on [closing date]. Winner will be selected at random from all eligible entries, and will be notified within 24 hours. The winner has one day to accept the prize, provide contact details and confirm which date they wish to attend, otherwise a new winner will be chosen at random. All additional expenses are the responsibility of the prize winner. The Editor’s decision is final.
We will require a contact name and email address for the winner. This information will be shared with the competition organiser only, who will contact them only in order to arrange their prize. We do not retain any information from either the winner or anyone else entering the competition.”
