1 Form fields

**Name**: short and descriptive ("Gift basket €120").
**Value**: used for display and the post-event recap.
**Photo**: square, 800×800 px minimum recommended.
**Linked sponsor**: optional, ties the prize to an existing sponsor.
**Description**: 1-2 sentences to make mouths water.

2 The photo really matters

On the room screen, a prize with a great photo is remembered 3x more than one without a visual. A few tips:

💡

Shoot the photos yourself

Place the item on a neutral background (white sheet, wooden table), good natural light, modern smartphone. That's it. No DSLR needed.

Square format, 800×800 px minimum.
Neutral background, no clutter around it.
Daylight or a good lamp.
Tight framing (the prize fills 80% of the image).

3 Pitfalls to avoid

Inflated values: don't artificially puff up prize values. The audience sees through it. Better 5 prizes at €30 than one billed at €200 that's really worth €80.

Catalog photos: avoid "stock" photos pulled from the internet. The audience prefers to see the real prize, even with average framing.
