The FOCL Holiday Giveaway

Updated 3 Nov 2026

The giveaway opens November 3, 2026 at noon Mountain Time, with entries closing November 22 at 11:59:59 PM Mountain Time. The giveaway page shows current availability and the official rules contain the full schedule. Prizes are Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Gen 3) glasses and a year of FOCL Studio. Nobody wins both.

Start on Instagram

Complete these four steps:

  • Follow @getfocl on Instagram.
  • Like FOCL’s giveaway announcement post.
  • Share the post to your Instagram story.
  • Tag two photographers in the post’s comments.

That earns two entries, once. FOCL tracks it manually; no website claim or FOCL account is needed. Complete these steps before entries close to be eligible to win, including through gallery entries. Keep your story archive or a screenshot. FOCL checks the requirements before awarding prizes.

You can enter galleries before finishing the Instagram steps, but you must finish them before the deadline to win. There is no Instagram approval step in the app.

Create a free FOCL account or sign in. Prepare, publish and send your gallery as usual. Then choose Enter this gallery in the giveaway beside the gallery in your gallery list or inside the gallery editor. It also appears after sending a gallery through FOCL. On your first submission, confirm the three eligibility statements. Later galleries take one click. Entering confirms you have sent the gallery to a client other than yourself.

Enter one existing gallery for 10 entries. After that submission, earn 5 entries for each gallery you create and deliver afterward, with no cap. The entry option disappears from your other older galleries. This applies equally to existing users who have delivered before and to new users. Free and paid accounts earn the same. The order you successfully enter galleries determines which gets ten. Creating an account, uploading, publishing or delivering alone does not award entries. Each gallery must be entered deliberately before the deadline.

A gallery must have at least 25 photos and be published and delivered to a client. Your first gallery may have been published and delivered before the giveaway. Later galleries must be created after your first successful gallery entry and submitted before entries close. Republishing or resending another older gallery does not make it eligible. A shoot date is optional and does not affect giveaway eligibility. Imported galleries, drafts and deliveries to yourself do not count. Send the link however you normally do; no special email button or client visit is required. Keep galleries published and undeleted, with 25+ photos, through the drawing. FOCL may request delivery evidence during winner review.

Find the giveaway

During the entry period, existing accounts may see a one-time introduction in Galleries or the Wedding Day web app. It waits while another popup or a task is open. Dismissing it is saved to your account and shared between the two apps. See how to enter opens the giveaway page in a new tab. You can also visit getfocl.app/giveaway directly or use the entered-gallery link below. There is no giveaway card in the sidebar or mobile menu.

Check your entries

The gallery shows Entered · 10 entries or Entered · 5 entries after saving. Click that label to open the giveaway explainer in a new tab, including how to enter and the official rules. Your gallery total appears above the gallery list. It does not include your manually tracked Instagram entries. Entry tracking stays inside Galleries.

Sign in to the same FOCL account on another browser or device to see the same saved entries. Returning to the app refreshes eligibility; the server also checks every 15 minutes. If a gallery stops qualifying, its entries are removed. Restoring that gallery restores its original award if it still qualifies. The first-gallery award does not move to another gallery after deletion or unpublishing. A gallery can only be entered once.

Other questions

There are no referral rewards, video tasks or weekly check-in cards. The independent free-entry method remains linked only from the official rules and does not require Instagram or an account. FOCL manages promotional emails separately. Entering does not subscribe you to marketing.

Email hello@getfocal.app if something is not working.
