How to find a giveaway on Instagram
Before taking a closer look how to win an Instagram giveaway, it is good that you know first how to find a contest to participate in. Usually, those who organize giveaways on Instagram, create customized hashtags for the latter (eg. #nomedelcontest [anno]) accompanying them with other labels, such as #giveaway, #contest, #contestgiveaway, #photocontest, #videocontest, #contestIn your language and so on.
That's why, to try to find new contests to participate in, you simply need to log into your Instagram account via the official app for Android or iOS (or from a PC, web version or social network application for Windows 10), press on the symbol of magnifying glass and look for the hashtags that I suggested you a moment ago.
Another way to find giveaways on Instagram is follow the most popular users present on the platform, since they usually organize this type of contests to retain their followers and, if possible, win new ones. If you are passionate about a certain topic (such as technology or cooking), be sure to follow other Instagrammers who talk about it, so you know if and when they organize themed contests.
Tips for winning an Instagram giveaway
When you have finally found a contest of your interest, you can participate in it and try to win the prize up for grabs. How about, then, if I give you advice for win an Instagram giveaway, so as to increase your chances of success? I reiterate the fact that the odds of winning in a prize draw are relatively low and, therefore, it is not said that you will actually be able to get the victory, but with the common sense rules that I am about to suggest, you will certainly be able to improve the situation and avoid small-big mistakes that could cause you to be excluded from the various contests.
Analyze the rules of the contest
Maybe it will seem trivial as advice, but analyze the rules of the competition is of paramount importance if you want to try to win it. If you don't understand well what is required of you to participate in the giveaway, in fact, it is likely that you will make mistakes and be disqualified from the contest.
Usually, the rules of the contests that are held on Instagram are very simple to follow and, to facilitate their reading and understanding, they are organized in numbered and / or bulleted lists. Based on the type of competition chosen - eg. Like e vinci, Comment and win, Follow and win, etc. - you may be asked to perform certain actions, such as following the profile that organized the contest (if you haven't already), "Like" the contest post, leave a comment, tag one or more friends so that they can also participate in the competition and so on.
After understanding what you have to do to participate in the giveaway organized on Instagram, check the expiration date: usually, this is indicated after the rules for participation in the same and inserted in a sentence that could have a formula similar to this: "You have time within [dd / mm / yyyy] to participate in the competition".
As for the extraction of the winner, this can take place via a direct Instagram and is usually communicated by the account of the user or the brand that organized the contest through a new post or on with a Story.
To find out the date of announcement of the winner, all you have to do is look for the latter in the contest instructions.

Now that you understand what you need to do to enter the contest and when to submit your application, take action and try to win the prize up for grabs!
Develop the content the right way
If you participate in a photo contest or yet video contest, obviously it is not enough to comment and “Like” the post that advertises the contest, but you must actually produce content. To increase the odds of winning such a giveaway, therefore, be sure to develop the content the right way, following the theme of the competition and the information provided by its organizer.
Let's say that in the rules of the contest you have decided to participate in, you are told to take a shot that is relevant to a certain topic. To increase your chances of winning, you need to try to take a photo that is primarily in line with the theme of the contest (so pay attention to don't go off topic) and that is both original and fun. Furthermore, when participating in contests of this type, it is of fundamental importance to pay attention to the quality of the content produced, trying to make photos or videos that do not have particularly obvious defects.
If you think you do not have many skills in the field of photography or video making, I suggest you take a look at the guides that I have dedicated specifically to the subject, for example those on how to take beautiful photos for Instagram, how to edit photos for Instagram, how to take beautiful photos with your mobile phone, how to look good in photos, how to use a DSLR, how to retouch photos, how to shoot videos, etc.
After having made the shot or the video with which to participate in the contest, it is time to publish it on Instagram and hope that this will allow you to win the prize up for grabs. When posting the photo or video in question, remember to use the official hashtag created by the contest organizers (if the instructions provide for this) and to tag their profile: by doing this you will be able to participate in the final draw and win. the prize up for grabs (which in some cases could simply consist in the repost of your content to make you have more visibility on the social network).
