Woobox now makes it incredibly simple to run a Photo Contest that integrates with Instagram posts.  You choose a specific hashtag, and photos posted with that hashtag will automatically be entered into your Photo Contest!
WARHEADS® just ran a campaign utilizing the Instagram entry functionality, with the hashtag #showusyourcubes to promote their new Sour Chewy Cubes candy.  As you can see from the contest screenshot below, this encouraged a lot of creativity from WARHEADS fans, which resulted in more fan interaction with the contest, and some very fun submissions!

How does it work?
The Woobox Photo Contest application will automatically monitor Instagram for posts with your hashtag, and import entrant photos into the submissions dashboard, where you’ll have the chance to review and …

We think Vine is perfect for Video Contests so we’ve added Vine support for Woobox Video Contests with the ability to enter via hashtag!
We find our customers’ most engaging video contests have loads of short length video entries.  This lets fans and followers check out many entries in a session and encourages more entries.  Twitter’s Vine is perfect for Video Contests for this very reason.
Have you heard of Vine yet?  It’s a new way of recording videos via an iOS device (support for other devices is surely coming soon) and sharing them.  Users have six seconds to record their video – starting and pausing as they choose.  Once ready, it’ll loop and repeat when played.  Vines can easily be shared …
