Your company already has an existing web store and wishes to deploy a new feature where you want to create a contest. The goal of this contest is to further increase your brands awareness by reaching and engaging with your customers in a new way and to more specifically identify who your customers are and what are their interests.

In Contest Dream you can create this specific contest in matter of minutes:

- Choose the application Contest Dream and select Create Contest under Contests tab
- Choose participation type Facebook and choose the contest type Instantdraw
- Fill out the image, title and description

At this point, your job as the manager of the contest ended. The next steps are much more technical where the Contest Dream logic has to be integrated in to your web store (be sure to give your developer the documentation of Enkronos Apps public RESTful API).
In order to integrate a contest resources, you first need to be able to authenticate those users through the Enkronos Apps SSO. After authentication and the redirection of Enkronos Apps SSO with the correct user authentication token, you can start making API requests. Here it is completely up to you on how you wish the design to look on the frontend of your webstore. To reduce the amount of duplicated data, be sure to use the Contests resource and its children relations in order to obtain all the data that directly links to the contest resource. After populating your frontend view with design (numerous attributes from Contests resource such as title, description, dates, prizes etc …) you can than add one button and a point the following logic to it – If user authentication token from Enkronos Apps true POST participations resource, else go to log in in Enkronos Apps SSO.
