Build My Own FeedSpring 2012 Black Diamond Instagram Photo Contest
Here at Black Diamond we have been really enjoying Instagram as a way to take and share photos with our friends, and we can now be found on it at @blackdiamondequipment. If you know about Instagram, we don't have to tell you how rad it is; and if you don't know, well, it's basiclally an awesome way to share photos from your mobile phone with friends and build a sense of community. You guys, our fans, are our community, and we want to see the images from your spring inspirations and adventures: shredding corn, bagging peaks, climbing at your favorite crags, or whatever springtime means to you.
Here's the deal: Take a great spring action or lifestyle shot between Monday, April 23 and Monday, May 14, 2012, share it with us on Instagram (tag it with #blackdiamondspring AND @blackdiamondequipment) and you could win a $300 or $100 Black Diamond gift certificate or one of many daily poster prizes.
How it works: Upload sweet spring photos to your Instagram feed, make sure they are public, and mark them with #blackdiamondspring AND @blackdiamondequipment. Each day we will select a daily winner who will recieve a fresh BD poster. At the end of the contest, an internal panel at Black Diamond will gather and filter through all of the photos hash tagged with #blackdiamondspring AND @blackdiamondequipment and decide the winners based on both technical and thematic execution (as well as general awesomeness). You can enter as many photos as you want, but they MUST be taken with an iPhone or Android device (i.e., no DSLR or regular camera shots), MUST be taken within the time frame of the contest, and MUST be public and marked with #blackdiamondspring and @blackdiamondequipment on Instagram.
Prizes:
-First Prize: $300 Gift Certificate for Black Diamond Equipment.**
-Runners Up (2): $100 Gift Certificate for Black Diamond Equipment.**
-Daily winners: Black Diamond poster (climbing or skiing, winner's choice)
**Gift certificate value must be spent in one order. Any balance will not carry over.

Lame that this contest is only for Instagram users. I have a bunch of great photos that I would enter, but I took them with my "dumb" flip-phone.
