Contestgram is an Instagramer photo contest App created by Roberto Pioli (@tebeus) together with his developing team with the goal for Instagramers to
“to simplify the participation at contests based on Instagram photos. Each winner will win popularity, a shout out and, very soon, also some amazing prizes will be offered by sponsors.”

To join a contest is very easy
Every two weeks @contestgram launches a new contest and, along with the theme also the tag you would have to use in order to participate. Through the App you can select and upload your photo by clicking the “join the contest” button or participate directly through Instagram tagging your picture. You can participate with as many photos as you like.

First stage, the Contestgram jury
After the first week, the Contestgram jury will choose the five best photos, among all the uploaded pictures and @contestgram will publish these on its Instagram profile. The Constestgram jury consists of: 2 professional photographers, 2 amateur photographers and 1 judge.

Second stage, you can vote!
Now it’s time for the Instagramers to vote! During a week, Instagramers can vote for their favourite photos among the ones published by @contestgram. Either trough the App or directly through Instagram. At the end of the vote period, the photo with the most likes wins!
