A ticket stub with punched notches and a dashed perforation, announcing that entries are open.
The first beat of a giveaway, and the only one that has to travel on its own, so post it before the rules, the prizes or the countdown. A stub reads as a ticket at any size, which is why it survives being seen at thumbnail scale in a busy feed. The shine crosses once on the hold; if you need the card to keep asking, that is the job of the entry steps, not this one.
Two fields: the kicker names the thing, GIVEAWAY, and the headline says the state, NOW OPEN. The card colour is the stub. Post it on its own; the rules and the countdown are separate cards, and this one only has to say that the door is open.
Giveaway Now Open is built at 640 × 360, a 16:9 landscape frame, the shape of a YouTube video, a stream layout and most editing timelines, and runs 3 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 0.3 seconds, holds for 1.9 and clears in 0.9, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.
Because a stub reads as a ticket at any size, which is what survives being seen at thumbnail scale in a busy feed. Punched notches and a perforation say entry without a word.
Once, on the hold. If the card needs to keep asking, that is the entry-steps card's job; this one announces and settles.
