#MyNetworkInFocus Photo Contest!

Danny_M — Thu, 28 Apr 2016 13:17:45 GMT

Hi everyone! With spring on the horizon and cottage season around the corner, we thought what better way to celebrate and engage with you all than to have a photo submission contest.

What are we looking for?
We want to know where you enjoy your phone service with Public Mobile; whether it’s at home, at work, or on the go! Think about some unique or even ordinary areas where you use your phone to share with the rest of the Community.

**You’ll get bonus points for incorporating the #MyNetworkInFocus hashtag or Public Mobile logo creatively in your photo!

Why should I enter?
This is your chance to be part of a fun Community activity and potentially win one of three GoPro Hero 4 Cameras! Check out this link for some tips on how you can step up your photography game.

How to Enter
Once you have your photo, upload and post it to the comments section below. Be sure to include a caption (using the hashtag #MyNetworkInFocus) and location. It’s really important that the photo you submit is your own original photo. You also must complete a short Google form and check off that you have read the Contest Rules. It gives us your info so we can contact you!

NOTE: Your submission must be original/your own photo! Make sure the size of your submitted photo is under 3 MB (anything above will not upload). Limit of one photo per person.

Selecting a Winner
A Public Mobile judging panel will review all photos submitted and select three winners. Photos will be judged on:

1) Photo Composition (50%): Composition will be judged by our in-house expert Amir Golbazi (Check out his Instagram: @AMIR.AG). A long time, passionate photographer, Amir will be looking for the following when judging photos:
a. Creativity & Originality – Does the photo tell a story?
b. Technical Quality – Is the photo in focus? If a filter is used, is it used well?
c. Overall impression – Does this photo grab my attention? Does it have the ‘wow’ factor?

2) Engagement (25%):; Does the rest of the Community like your photo? Their comments and Bravos can make a difference.

3) Caption/Tagline Creativity (25%): Make sure you put some thought into that caption. Does it help explain the photo?

If there is a tie, we’ll have a random draw between the two tied entrants.

Contest Rules and Regulations
No purchase necessary. Contest runs April 13 to April 27, 2016. Read complete Contest Rules (attached) before entering.

So what are you waiting for? Get snapping! Below are a couple of our own photo examples to help you get the creative juices going!

Well, I know I can't win because I work here, but I want to participate anyway!

#MyNetworkInFocus works when I'm cheering for the boys in blue!

The skaters may be too fast to stay in focus, but at least I had #MyNetworkinFocus at Nathan Phillips Square!

Great contest, @Danny_M! I look forward to seeing lots more, and will try to post some pics as well. I'd love to give out Bravo's to the photos already shared, but I have hit the 50 bravo limit and can't hand any out at the moment. I'll have to try another time.

#MyNetworkInFocus - out on a hike with my dog Leroy in Frontenac Park, Ontario, this past Sunday - shot on my iPhone SE, with Public Mobile, using the stock app in panoramic mode. 😄

Wish I had a couple more pictures showing where I use my phone and where my #networkinfocus is, but as you can see, it gets stolen. A lot. Haha #networkinfocus.

PS. Most times it's stolen for selfies by my brothers lol not the dogs.

Here is mine for the contest!

Story: When I got my Canadian Citizenship I decided I wanted to get to know ALL OF CANADA. So I the best thing I could do was to take the #TheCanadian from #ViaRail from #Ottawa to #Vancouver.

This photo was taken in #JasperNationalPark with a #BlackBerryZ10 and #MyNetworkInFocus helped to post pictures to FB all the way! 🙂

I hope you like this pic 🙂

JL.

PS: Here is the GPS data in Google Maps, I still need to get to know the East side! The trip was amazing, it was something I had to do from my bucket list! I strongly recommend you do it too!

Hi @jairolevi,

Congratulations on becoming a Canadian citizen!

As a second-generation Canadian, I consider myself fortunate that my family chose Canada to which to immigrate.

In 1978, I, too, took Via Rail's train from Toronto to Vancouver. The most beautiful scenes were those of Lake Superior from the domed Observatory car. Truly awe-inspiring!

Cheers!

Wow @jairolevi that's an amazing picture and story! 🙂 What a truly Canadian experience 😛 even down to the phone brand.

I guess this is in the ordinary. I'm chilling at a Starbucks on a Saturday, using my phone service to take care of a huge backlog of emails and text messages #MyNetworkInFocus

Public Mobile is the best!

Ever since you were taken over by a certain company no one can come close to you:

- in customer service

- in signal strength

- in plan types and price point

This has nothing to do with your photo contest. I just want to say that you have a customer that has witnessed the great changes over the past 2 years. PUBLIC MOBILE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
