What LISTN guarantees
FAQ
A creator contest is a structured short-form activation around one track. LISTN handles the setup, creator activation and reporting once the contest is live.
LISTN prepares a contest setup around one track, selected short-form platforms, a launch window, a prize pool and a creative direction. The contest starts within 48 hours after the form is submitted and Stripe payment is confirmed.
You can select TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. At least one platform must be selected before submitting the form.
The contest duration is 7 days. Launch begins within 48 hours after the form is submitted and Stripe payment is confirmed.
Larger prize pools attract more creators. A €1,000 minimum is required. Prizes are distributed among creators using a performance-optimized model. LISTN adds a fixed 30% campaign management fee on top of the prize pool, and VAT may apply depending on the billing context.
Platform-specific sound links help creators publish with the intended track. If they are not available yet, LISTN can help identify them before launch.
TikTok typically delivers the best results for short-form music contests. Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts can still be selected, but their expected performance may be lower depending on creator participation and platform behavior.
No. All creative direction options are suggestions, not requirements for creators. Leave the selection as Open Creative for optimal results unless the track clearly needs a specific creative angle.
No. LISTN does not guarantee virality, a fixed number of views or a fixed number of creator posts. Results depend on creator participation, creative fit, timing, prize pool and platform data availability.
After the contest goes live, LISTN sends you a private tracking link by email. That link opens a dedicated page, like the example below, where you can follow the contest in real time: dates, total posts, total views and selected creator content when data is available. You do not need to come back to this landing page, and your contest results are not displayed publicly here.
