Last Call! Enter to Win Tickets to the Final Pixe Summer Music Take Over Concert

For the past three months, Pixe has hosted an interactive contest series for Pixe Snap users, Summer Music Take Over (SMTO). Music fans along the East Coast were encouraged to download the Pixe Snap mobile app, select the specific geolocation with a corresponding concert, and tweet a photo. Each contest was announced on Pixe’s Facebook and Twitter feeds directing participants to more detailed information about the concert and contest. All of the photos were tweeted with the concert hashtags to connect with fans across Twitter. Winners were randomly chosen from the entrants and announced on Twitter and Facebook.


The Pixe team was elated with the amount of interaction with music fans via social media. With over 70 new Pixe Snap registrants throughout the contest series, the app has grown in popularity within the targeted demographic. Festival enthusiasts were eager to enter two SMTO contests for the Firefly Music Festival in Delaware and the Mad Decent Block Party (MDBP) in Maryland. Along with pre-show fan engagement, Pixe created a contest for MDBP attendees to capture photos during the event and win tickets to the next weekend’s Moonrise Festival. Pixe Snap users captured over 190 photos before and during the MDBP concert.

As the summer comes to a close and local schools are gearing up for returning students, the Summer Music Take Over contest series has one final contest for fans to enter. This September, international singing sensation, Ed Sheeran will perform at Merriweather Post Pavilion. As a result of the enthusiasm of Ed Sheeran fans, we have decided to open the contest early and run it through 2 September 2014. We encourage fans to download the app on their iOS or Android devices, select the “Ed Sheeran” geolocation and tweet your pictures. A winner will be randomly selected and announced via our social media channels on 3 September 2014.

Good luck and thank you for playing!
