- An electric lime background (#c8ff3a) with a fine dark halftone dot grid at low opacity.
- A giant two-line headline in a tall condensed font (Bebas Neue): "GIVEAWAY" in near-black and "TIME!" in hot pink (#ff3d8b) with a hard black text-shadow and thin black text-stroke. Put a round blue (#3b4bff) "JOIN NOW" sticker with a dashed white edge and a hard black shadow to the right of the second line, rotated about -10 degrees.
- Below it a large prize photo card with a thick black border, rounded corners and a hard offset black shadow, rotated about -2.4 degrees. Use a placeholder image if none is set.
- A row of three black pill chips with lime text: "Follow @yourbrand", "Like + save", "Tag 2 friends".
- At the bottom, the deadline "ENDS SUNDAY · 8 PM" in the condensed font on the left and the brand handle on the right.
- Keep all text inside 8% margins and readable on a phone.Want to tighten it up first? Run this prompt through the AI Prompt Studio to score it across 8 quality dimensions, catch anti-patterns, and tune the wording for Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini before you paste it in.

About this template
Giveaway Time Instagram Post Template — Loud Prize Photo Giveaway
Most Instagram giveaway posts politely explain; this one shouts. Giveaway Time is a free giveaway post template for feeds that are already loud: electric lime, a giant two-line headline, a "Join now" sticker and a prize photo that looks slapped onto the page.
A headline you can read from across the room
The two-line headline is set in a tall condensed typeface. "Giveaway" is solid black, and "Time!" is hot pink with a hard black shadow and outline, like a sports poster. Next to it a blue "Join now" sticker with a dashed edge sits slightly tilted and wobbles in the animated export. Change either line, for example "Win it" and "Today!", and the text resizes to fit.
The prize photo, front and centre
Under the headline a large tilted card holds your prize photo inside a thick black border with a hard offset shadow. Upload the product, the gift box or the bundle, and drag the photo to frame it. The card gently bobs in the video export. Until you add a picture the card shows a placeholder, so the post already looks complete.
Three entry steps in one line
Three black pills sit under the photo, ready for "Follow @yourbrand", "Like + save" and "Tag 2 friends", and they pop in one by one in the video. Under them the deadline is set in the same tall type ("Ends Sunday · 8 PM"), with your handle and an optional logo beside it.
When to choose it
Use Giveaway Time for quick, high-energy contests: a weekend product drop, a launch week prize or a follower-count push. If you need space for longer rules and a deadline paragraph, use Giveaway Contest instead, and announce the result afterwards with Giveaway Winners or Giveaway Winner Reveal.
