Instagram Photo Contests
In 2019 UPR took the race to Instagram: a monthly theme, a set of three photos, a team winner and a public winner.
We want to bring the UPR experience to more people and because not everyone can come to our events we’re taking the event to them.
The Instagram Photo Contest is a monthly challenge where we ask our followers to take a set of 3 photos of a given theme. The winners will be announced at the end of each month and they will not only get posted on our feed but also win Sponsored awards.
How to participate
The UPR Instagram Photo Contests is open to everyone everywhere. All you have to do is follow these three very simple rules:
- Follow Urban Photo Race on Instagram.
- Post a set of 3 photos and use the current hashtag.
- Tag @urbanphotorace on your post.
Contest rules
Each contest starts on day 1 and finishes on day 20 of each month, and you can post your photos at any time during these 20 days. A valid entry is composed of 3 photos in 1 post and you can submit as many posts (sets of 3 photos) as you want. Only posts with the right hashtag, the UPR tag and followers of the UPR account will be considered valid.
On the 20th of each month we draw two winners, a UPR Team Vote winner and a Popular Vote winner. The UPR Team Vote winner is personally selected by the UPR team and the Popular Vote winner is the post with the most likes by the 20th of the month (23:59). At the end of the month we share the winners on our UPR Instagram account and award them with a UPR World ticket for the upcoming events as well as sponsored awards: a Joby GripTight One GorillaPod Magnetic Impulse from Degreef & Partner for the team award, and a Thule Perspektiv Daypack from Kamera Express for the public vote.
