Run your pageant on Crown Votes
Public voting for your finalists, paid on mobile money, counted where everyone can see it. You run the pageant; we run the votes and the money.
What you get
Paid votes on mobile money
You set the price per vote. Supporters buy as many as they like with MTN MoMo or Airtel Money, and the votes count the moment the payment clears.
Free daily votes that pull the crowd in
Every signed-in supporter gets free votes each day, as many as you set (usually one). It brings them back daily, and every visit is a chance to buy more.
A live leaderboard
Standings update as votes land. Show exact counts, or ranks only if you would rather keep the numbers quiet until the gala.
Fraud screening built in
Unusual voting patterns are held for your review instead of counting straight away. You release them, or the payment is refunded.
Your team, with the right access
Invite coordinators to manage contestants and finance people to see revenue. Only the roles you choose ever see money.
Money you can trace
Every shilling of revenue is tied to the vote that paid it. Request a payout of your cleared balance to mobile money or a bank account.
From sign-up to first vote
Set up the pageant
Title, dates and banner, then you set the price per vote and the free votes per day.
Add your contestants
Photo, name and sash number for each, one by one or from a spreadsheet.
Share one link
Post it on WhatsApp, print its QR code on posters, and point supporters to its How to vote guide.
Getting paid
Revenue from paid votes builds up as an available balance once each payment clears. Held votes are not available until you release them. Request a payout whenever you like, to a mobile money or bank account in your organization's or your own verified name; each request is paid once, never twice. The full terms are in the Organizer Agreement.
Embed a vote button
Put a contestant's vote button on your own website. Paste this where the button should appear, with your pageant's link name and her sash number. Supporters see her photo and name; the button opens her Crown Votes page in a new tab, where they vote. Nothing is paid or signed into on your site.
<div data-crownvotes-pageant="your-pageant" data-crownvotes-sash="12"></div>
<script src="https://crownvotes.com/embed/crownvotes.js" async></script>Add data-crownvotes-theme="dark" or "light" to fix the colours; by default the button follows the visitor's light or dark setting.
