Contest: A Picture Is Worth More Than A Thousand Words!

Submitted by ArmaK on Wed, 09/09/2009 - 01:14.

We here at The BlackBerry Zone have some very special giveaways lined up for the not too distant future.  To kick it off, we have a special and unique contest.  BlackBerry Developer, Dmglakewood has been gracious enough to give us here at TBZ codes for 100 copies to any of his apps.  If you are not familiar with Dmglakewood, you can look at the DMGlakewood's Official App Thread to see the list of his currently available applications.   

You're probably thinking to yourself, how is this special and/or unique? Isn't this just like any other app giveaway?  Well here is the catch.  This contest will be a PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT!!  We are going to put that camera on your BlackBerry to use.

Every 24 hours for the next 5 days, I am going to post an item that you must find.  Some of these items may not be easy and/or may require you to be creative.  The first 20 people (one win per person through the duration of the contest) each day to post a picture of the item and who also complete the following conditions will win:

  • Follow @thebbzone on Twitter
  • Take the picture of the current item containing your screen name using the camera on your BlackBerry device (Google images or pictures of pictures will be disqualified).
  • Post a comment in the contest thread containing the picture

If there are not 20 winners in a given day, those prizes will carry over to a special 6th, 7th, 8th, ... day until all codes are won.  That means there is still the possiblity that you can win even if you miss out the first 5 days.   All prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the contest.

So good luck to everyone and can't wait to see your photographs!

That was one of the reasons why I went back to 140 until there is another leak. There are times when you might need to take a picture and if the camera doesn't work then you miss out on the moment.

Don't worry, there are plenty of chances to win. There are up to 20 winners a day for the next 5 days. Any left over codes after those 5 days will carry to the 6th+ day until they are all gone.

No you can still do it with only one BB. That is where the creative part comes in. I'll post how you can do it with only one BB after the 24 hr mark if nobody figures it out.
