How to Publish a Contest on your Facebook Page
One of the most frequent questions we're asked is how a contest can be published on a Facebook Page. A Page is not the same as a personal profile. A Facebook Page represents a business or public figure and has followers instead of friends.
A Page or Business Manager account cannot be used to access Facebook apps. You have to create the contest using your personal Facebook profile. Once you get to the Publish section (see image below), click the Add to Facebook Page button to publish the contest on your Facebook Page.

Promoting your Facebook contest to get more results
When you create a contest on Facebook, we give you tools to invite your friends and publish the contest on a page you manage. But sometimes that’s not enough and you need to reach a larger audience with a Facebook promoted post.
Filtering results and answers
Would you like to know how men aged from 30 to 39 answered your poll? Export only the completed forms to Excel? Or draw a prize among participants who got all the right answers to your quiz? It's now possible using Search Filters.
Introducing Timeline Contests
We are pleased to announce you can now make contests directly from your Facebook Page Timeline. You simply ask a question and followers enter the giveaway by commenting the post. The application parses the comments and compiles all the answers. You can draw a winner and export all the answers to Excel like in a regular form contest.
Embed a Contest on your Webpage
Starting today, you can now embed a contest on a Webpage. This is especially useful if you manage both a Facebook Page and a Website for your business and want to reach your audience in both places.
