What is a selfie contest?

What is a selfie contest? Basically, a selfie contest is a contest where you need to take a photo of yourself and send it to the promoter of the contest to be judged. If your photo stands out from the rest and qualifies the terms and conditions, the judges will choose your photo and hooray!, you are the winner!!

How do you find a selfie contest? A selfie contest is probably the most famous online contest, so it will be easy to find it on social media pages like Facebook, Instagram etc. Normally the selfie contest’s title would have the word ‘selfie’ or ‘photo’. Sometimes the title is unique, for example: Snap & Win. You just need to think logically whether it’s a selfie contest or not.

Why do people enter selfie contests? A selfie contest is one of the most easy online contests there is. And it becomes very popular because it is so much fun too. It is really fun because we need to take a picture while doing something that is fun. For example, you would have to take a selfie while relaxing and drinking milkshakes with your friends.

Another thing is because selfie contests are really easy to enter. You don’t need to spend lots of time finding slogans to write or buying many products to collect the barcodes.  We just need to snap a picture and send it to the promoter. So it wouldn’t be tiring for you.

Who actually won these contests and how do they win? What prizes do they get?  For example, the winner of the Selfie With Mom 2015 contest was won by Haley and her mom. Their picture stood out from the rest of the entries for many reasons.

The photo had a nice bright background with no shadows or anything disturbing. The main subject (Haley and her mom) had matching colours on so it looked very classic. The picture didn’t have lots of exciting colours that will make the photo less attractive.The lucky winners recieved a prize of two night accomodations for two and tickets to Callaway Gardens, full of fun outdoor activities!
