Here are some of the key guidelines that you should remember while launching a Twitter competition.

Creation of multiple accounts- Encourage users to abstain from creating multiple accounts to enter a competition, Twitter might suspend all the accounts including the user’s official Twitter profile. You must make sure that your contest has a guideline that states that a user may only use a single account to enter the contest.

Posting the same tweet repeatedly- Avoid setting a rule that encourages users to post several duplicate updates in the contest. In other words, avoid setting a rule that requires most retweets to win the contest.

Twitter contest hashtag- Lastly, users must mention you in their post. The best way to do this is by developing a campaign hashtag and encouraging users to post content with the competition hashtag. Also, keep in mind that users must post relevant content with the contest keyword.

Remember, these are some of the basic guidelines provided by Twitter. There may be some additional rules that you may have to comply with, depending on where your business is located or the industry you operate in.
