CAMPAIGN RULES
Keep your posts accessible through October 8.
Entries run September 15–30, 2026. COOLFLY will collect and verify entries October 1–7, record performance in the October 6 review batch, complete final checks October 7 and announce winners October 8.
New posts after the entry period are not eligible. Eligible engagement may grow until the October 6 record is taken; later checks may correct errors without refreshing the engagement total.
Post your own bird photo or video captured with an eligible device from COOLFLY, HIXX, RichBird or FreeSeason. Add #COOLFLYFlyway and write your city or state in the caption. No precise address, GPS access or nest coordinates are required.
Eligible social channels are Facebook, Facebook Groups, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Reddit. Posts must remain accessible for review. You may also participate in the COOLFLY App for a badge. This website is not an entry form.
Each separately published eligible post with its own link can count toward Top Contributor, including cross-platform posts and separate posts using the same original content.
Each link counts once. Editing a post, resending its link or adding comments does not increase the count. Keep entries accessible through October 8. Temporary or unverifiable posts do not count.
First place receives a new release from COOLFLY. Second place receives a COOLFLY-approved smart bird feeder. The final product configurations will be confirmed before launch.
Spotlight is for individual social videos ranked by views or plays, plus likes or reactions, plus comments. Shares, saves and follower counts are excluded.
The winner receives three months of COOLFLY Plus. The participant with the most eligible social posts published during the entry period and retained through October 8 wins.
Photos and videos count. App posts do not count toward this social award.
Your first eligible campaign photo or video posted in the COOLFLY App during the entry period qualifies for the campaign badge. One badge is available per person.
Each person may receive one social media prize plus the App badge.
Stolen content, AI-generated bird entries, falsified analytics, bot traffic, purchased engagement and paid-promoted Spotlight videos are not eligible.
You retain ownership of your content. COOLFLY will contact you before featuring it with credit; the hashtag does not grant unlimited commercial rights.
Winners will be announced October 8, 2026, and contacted by an official COOLFLY account. Reply within seven days of the first notification.
Do not post a shipping address publicly. COOLFLY will not ask for passwords or verification codes.
This campaign is organized by COOLFLY and is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Reddit. Entries must follow applicable platform and community rules.
