Audience Interactivity including Competitions, Votes and Awards
When we invite our audiences to interact with our live output, it is important to ensure that they are treated with respect, honesty and fairness. Interactive competitions and votes must be handled with rigorous care and integrity, in accordance with the BBC’s Code of Conduct for Competitions and Voting.
Live programmes proposing to include competitions, voting or awards must complete an Approval Form and have this authorised by the relevant Controller (or equivalent) before going on air.
The Audience Interactivity Approval Forms are here.
Specific guidance on competitions, voting and awards is here. All live output areas should read and follow this prior to including audience activity in their content. Additionally, all staff who are to be involved in the running of competitions and votes must have undertaken the relevant face-to-face and online training prior to doing so.
