# Giveaways
From time to time DevStaff has the opportunity to offer some giveaways during
the Meetups. The prizes are provided by
[sponsors](https://github.com/devstaff-crete/DevStaff-Heraklion/blob/master/Sponsors.md)
in exchange for promotion.
The process, the tools, and the rules we use for these giveaways are described
here.
## Prizes list
All prizes will be written down at each Meetup's announcement at
[meetup.com](https://www.meetup.com/devstaff/). Moreover, at the intro
presentation, when sponsors are presented, each prize will be explicitly
mentioned along with the type, the amount of prizes, and the sponsor.
## Participants eligibility
All participants of a Meetup are eligible for the raffling process including
the speaker(s), attendees, and Org Team members. The participants of a Meetup
are the members that have joined our Meetup's place (in case of physical
Meetups) or our communication tool (in case of remote Meetups).
## Raffle Process
At the end of each meetup, we are using our [draw
app](https://github.com/devstaff-crete/devstaff-draw) to pick the necessary
amount of prize winners. They are then contacted within a week by an Org Team
member to collect their shiny new tool / license / swag!
The whole raffle process described at this step will take place during the end
of the Meetup (live or) in front of all the participants.
