Des Moines Moms Blog is thrilled to partner with Verizon Wireless for our greatest contest yet!
Over a quarter of all photos taken are snapped with smartphones now. Which makes sense- it’s always with you, it’s very portable and, honestly, they rival all but the most expensive pocket sized point & shoot cameras on the market. And with all the editing software available for your phone, you can create a masterpiece in minutes and share it with everyone.
Which is just what we want you to do!
As lights go up, candles are lit, children prepare for holiday performances and everything around you becomes festive, we want you to snap photos of the holiday and share them with us.
Now, this contest requires a bit of work, but it’s really easy- I promise! And the prize is totally worth the effort!
- We’ve set up a special Flickr group just for your photos. To join the group, set up a free Flickr account and join the group pool.
- Snap photos with your smart phone. All editing must be done on the phone as well (your phone came with editing tools and there are also dozens of apps for this!)
- Upload the photos to your Flickr account. You can use the official Flickr app, UpFlickr, Instagram, or any other uploader. *In the photo description be sure to use #VZWHoliday.
- Later, when you’re relaxing in front of your computer, log in to your Flickr account and add those great holiday photos to the group pool by visiting the group page and clicking the “add photos” link.
- One of the best things about Flickr is that you can share directly to Twitter and Facebook- so share those photos with friends! After adding your photo to the group, share it and remember to #VZWHoliday to complete your contest entry.
- You can enter as many photos as you like- so snap away! The more photos you enter, the more chances you have to win!
I’m sure you’re wondering what kind prize would require so much “work”…
If photo entries reach 50, we are thrilled to be able to offer the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 10.1 inch 4G LTE tablet from Verizon .
Who wouldn’t want to put this under the tree (or maybe do a little “me-gifting”)? You can connect this to the blazing fast Verizon 4G network (charges apply) or use it with wi-fi. This new generation of tablet is multi-talented and sure to become the most popular device in the house!
Stay entertained on a big screen:
- Get direct access to more videos than you can imagine with Media Hub and viewdini™
- Play premium games with the pre–installed Game Hub. An accelerometer and gyroscope help sense your every movement and make the games more interactive
- Discover new shows to watch on live TV, then use this Android tablet to turn the channel on your TV and set your DVR with Peel Smart Remote

- Seamlessly share content such as photos and music across your connected devices, including some TVs, with AllShare Play
Better manage your home and work life:
- Create and edit documents with Polaris Office, which comes installed on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. The interface is intuitive and similar to working on a computer
- Store and share those files using Polaris Office and apps such as Box and Facebook
- Get on–device encryption; VPN connectivity; and enhanced corporate email, calendar, and contact features
- Change the size of the virtual keyboard and drag it around the screen. Or split the keyboard in two for easier typing
