What Is the Contest Directory Script?
The Contest Directory Script is a self-hosted PHP membership platform for building a website where contests can be listed, discovered and promoted.
You can offer Free and Pro memberships and define how many contests each membership type can publish. You can also set a featured-listing fee and duration so selected contests can receive premium placement within the directory.
The current product documentation also describes a pre-integrated API that fetches contests from ContestConclave, which can help populate the directory with contest listings.
The administration area includes member management, commission plans, promotional materials, banner advertising, payment configuration, customizable pages and email tools.
Important: The script provides the directory and membership infrastructure. The quality, availability and accuracy of listed contests depend on the data sources, submitted content and moderation policies you use.

Security, Privacy & Responsible Directory Operation
This is a self-hosted membership and directory platform. You control member records, contest content, payment configuration and moderation policies.
Use HTTPS, strong administrator credentials, appropriate access controls and a maintained server environment. Because listings can be submitted by members or imported from external sources, establish clear editorial and moderation rules for accuracy, prohibited content and expired contests.
Contest information can change over time. Your directory should make it clear that users should verify contest eligibility, deadlines, rules and official terms with the original contest organizer before participating.
