Question en campaña para

Hello everybody, I want to translate the sentence:

Estoy en campaña para conseguir más participantes para la competencia.

My version in English would be:

I am running a campaign in order to find more participants for the contest.

Can anybody give me a different version?

Thanks in advance!

Default Re: en campaña para

Clarab

The sentence sounds like a caption to a satirical cartoon or something Groucho Marx might have said. If so I wouldn't have any doubts translating it as follows. Otherwise please provide us with more context.

Estoy en campaña para conseguir más participantes para la competencia.

I am running to get more people (or candidates) for the opposition

OR MORE LITERALLY

I am in the campaign to get more contestants for my competitors (or opponents)

Here are some options, you can interchange sentences.

I'm rallying to get more people into the competition.
I'm running a campaign to get more players into the competition.
I'm campaigning to enroll more players for the tournament.
