### Step 2: Platform Setup
Choose the platform(s) for your photo contest (social media, website, etc.), set up the submission process, and ensure it is easily accessible to your target audience.

### Step 3: Promotion
Create promotional materials that detail the contest information. Use social media, email marketing, and other communication channels to spread the word about your contest.
