An Excerpt from Facebook's Promotions Guidelines ⇢

2.  General Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to any promotion you communicate about on Facebook or administer through an application on the Facebook Platform.  Communication includes promoting, advertising or referencing a promotion in any way on Facebook, for example, in ads, on a Page, or in a status update

  1. You may require that an entrant like a Page, check in to a Place, or connect to your Platform integration before providing their full entry information for a promotion.  You will not condition entry to the promotion upon taking any other action on Facebook, for example, liking a status update or photo, commenting on a Wall, or uploading a photo.

As you can see, it is EXPLICITLY stated on the Facebook Terms of Use that any entity who wish to conduct a contest through Facebook is not allowed to use liking a status or photo as basis for entering or winning a contest.

I am sick and tired of being asked to like a photo. So if you send me a message asking me to like a photo or a status to help you win a contest, rest assured that I WILL FUCKIN’ REPORT THE CONTEST FOR VIOLATING THE FACEBOOK TERMS OF USE.

K?
