Give each entry a clear picture and label so guests know what they’re choosing. ### How should I prepare ugly sweater pictures for voting? Show the full sweater design clearly, with enough space around it to avoid cutting off decorations. Use a simple background and a consistent view across entries. Give each sweater a name or entry number so guests can identify it in the poll. ### Can guests choose one sweater or rank their favorites? Yes. Use a Picture Selection question with its Voting type set to Single for one favorite, or a Picture Ranking question for an ordered list of favorites. Tell voters how each award will be decided before sharing your poll. ### Can remote colleagues join the sweater vote? Yes. Collect their sweater pictures before voting starts, add them alongside the other entries, and share the same poll link with everyone. ### Can I use this for a Christmas jumper competition? Yes. Use the same voting approach for a Christmas jumper competition. Add a picture and clear label for each jumper, then share your poll link with guests at the party and colleagues joining remotely. ### Can I get started for free? Yes!
