Thanks a lot!
"(1) there is no message to notify them of the competition result"
You are right; in case the winners of the international contest are known by the time we send out the reminder message, we may as well add a line at the end of the message. So far, we haven't considered this as we expected to send out the survey well before December.
Best, Beat

It took ~4-5 mins for this short template to be translated into Thai.
This is the first year for us. I just translate all messages if I can.
However, I feel that Teele's point is valid. The 1st message is a must. But how do you prove the effectiveness of the 2nd? It may add confusion or treated as spam? Try to put yourself in the participants' shoes, (1) there is no message to notify them of the competition result. (2) Yet, there are two follow-up messages getting into their mailbox after they are done with the contest.

Maybe then it should be the other way around? "Hey, we are reminding you to take the survey! In case you have already filled it, carry along, thank you!" Or sth. Just my opinion.

I am sorry, is this the message to thank a person for filling the survey or to remind him to fill it? It shouldn't do both, because if he has already filled it, there is no need to remind. And if he hasn't filled it, there is no reason to thank him for filling it.
Or am I silly and missing something?
We don't know if they filled it or not, so we send them a message thanking the filling if they did, and "hey, if you are in the 80% which didn't fill out the survey, remember you can still do it".
