promotional competition(s) Explanation: If the competition is offered as a marketing tool, then I would recommend this term. Sweepstake, on the other hand, has a different meaning in BE and is not a suitable alternative in this context. |

competition(s) Explanation: Doesn't competition cover it? If not, why not?
