Dubai Shopping Festival 2013 Online Photography Competition On Instagram Enters Its Final Stage
January 30 the last date for uploading photos on social media site; top three pictures to be awarded cash prizes
With the Dubai Shopping Festival 2013 moving into its exciting closing stages, the time is fast approaching when various on-line and social media competitions held during the festival come to an end. One such competition is being run on Instagram, which is pitting amateur shutterbugs against each other to post the best picture they can take during DSF 2013.
For those wishing to participate, the last day to upload their photographs on Instagram is Wednesday, January 30. Participants are eligible to upload multiple photos and all pictures should carry the hashtag: #dubaisbest.
The top three pictures will get cash awards of AED 3,000, AED 2,000 and AED 1,000 respectively, as well as certificates from Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment, an agency of the Department of Economic Development and the organizers of DSF. The prizes will be presented at the awards ceremony for the DSF Journalism and Photography Awards that will be held on the last day of the festival. All the shortlisted pictures of the competition will also be displayed during the ceremony.
Sometimes a picture can speak a thousand words, or at least explain and present an event or activity in great detail and beauty. Instagram, the pictorial oriented social networking site is being used as a tool for participants to post a picture that they felt best represents Dubai and DSF 2013, which will go down as the edition of the festival that bridged the digital divide and took “Dubai at its Best” to the world through the innovative use of cyber media.
DSF has its own special Instagram account which give the followers the opportunity to experience their favourite festival through the pictures posted on @DSFsocial.
