## Contest FAQs

**What if I complete a tour but don't do the Instagram bonus entry?**

You're still entered! The Instagram challenge is optional and just gives you an extra entry to increase your odds.

**When and how will winners be announced?**

Winners will be announced the week of April 20th via email.

**Can I enter if I'm not ready to become a member yet?**

Absolutely. The tour is free, and there's no obligation to join Saltbox. We just want to show you what's possible.

**How do I know which prize tier I qualify for?**

The Scaling Brand Grant is for businesses shipping 1,000+ orders/month. The Early Stage Brand Grant is for businesses with fewer than 500 orders/month. Don't quite fit either? Tour anyway—our team can help you find the right Saltbox solution for your stage.

You must be 18+ and own a product-based business. All you need to do is fill out the form on this page and complete a Saltbox tour between February 25 and April 14, 2026, to be automatically entered.
