Motorola has teamed up with Foap, a mobile app and online marketplace for user-generated images, to launch a giveaway titled “For the Love of Android,” in which participants can win $1000, a Moto X smartphone, or a Moto 360 smartwatch.
Available on both iOS and Android devices, the app allows photographers to sell their photos to leading brands. Foap has released the latest version of their Android app with new features including one that keeps users updated with Android Wear integration.
“We are excited to share the new Foap in-app experience with the Android community,” said David Los, CEO of Foap. “We developed an almost entirely new app complete with engaging social feeds for better collaboration and connectivity in the community, a news feed that enables users to socialize in a similar fashion to Instagram, and much richer user profiles. Overall, we made the Foap app much more fun to interact with, built it to scale with our increasing user base and made certain it adheres to all of Google’s new material design guidelines for smartwatch integration.”
The Motorola giveaway is being run through a Foap “Mission” – a feature within the app that allows leading brands to run photo competitions while seeking specific content. Motorola has launched the “For the Love of Android” Mission, “seeking creative photos of users’ Android moments, including photos of people snapping pictures with their Android devices and photos with all things Android, including the Android robot.”
First place will receive $1000, second and third places will each receive a Moto X smartphone, and fourth and fifth places will be sent a Moto 360 smartwatch.
If you’re interested, you can head over to the Google Play Store to download the Foap app and submit your photos for a chance to win with the Foap and Motorola giveaway.
