The “Japan Contest” was a photographic contest that started on July 15 and ended on August 30, with a total of 10 partners (shops, artists, service providers, influencers) and 28 participants (16 for the “Japan Category”, 12 for the “Other Countries Category”).
History of the contest:
At first, the plan was to make the contest last until August 12 and the prizes were offered only by Elly Lakes, consisting in cute and funny Japanese stationery items. Later, in order to give the participants more interesting rewards, Elly searched for partners who could sponsor greater prizes: First, she partnered with shops and artists in Switzerland, and later also with services in Japan and famous globetrotter influencers! With such good rewards, an extention of the date was mandatory: More people had to know about the project and be able to participate!
Goal of the contest:
The primary goals of the contest were to make my followers participate in something new, find new people passionate about travelling and Japan, and create a good community of travellers inside the group We Love Travelling! linked to the Facebook page Elly Lakes World. Then the contest became also the perfect window for emerging artists and other services to be noticed!
