8. After Your Contest Ends

Your contest is complete — here's what you walk away with.

Updated today

Congratulations! Your contest has ended and the winners have been determined. Here's what happens next and what you can do with your content.


Winners Are Paid

Creators are paid automatically based on their final position on the leaderboard. The prize pool is distributed according to the structure you set up.


You Own All Winning Content

Every winning video is yours forever. You can:

  • Download the MP4 files — Use them for example on your social media accounts

  • Get Spark Ads codes — Run ads directly from the creator's TikTok profile

  • Edit and repurpose — Cut, remix, or adapt content for your channels

  • Run paid ads — Use winning content in your ad campaigns


What to Do With Your Content

The best contests don't just generate content — they generate insights. Use what you learned:

1. Scale What Works

Identify your top-performing videos and run them as paid ads. Content that performed organically often performs even better with ad spend behind it.

2. Run Another Contest

Take what you learned and run a new contest around your winning format. Anchor your next brief on what already works.

3. Work With Top Creators

Found creators you loved? Reach out through Deals to continue working with them one-on-one. Many top creators can produce 20–50 pieces of content for your brand.


Continue Building Momentum

Your contest generated organic reach across many creator profiles. Keep the momentum going:

  • Launch a Deal to work directly with top performers

  • Run a CPM Deal to scale content production

  • Run another Contest to keep testing and learning
