For the past month or two, there were two things that you simply could not miss: the World Cup and the “Kick Up your Team Spirit” contest!

We asked you to send us your images of support, showing your enthusiasm, team spirit and love for you team or country, and we sure did get many great images from all around the world. After narrowing down the submissions and reviewing all the different images, we’re happy to announce that the winners have been chosen!

Payoneer’s Choice Winner

Jean Pier from Peru

Jean Pier sent us this image of support for Italy’s national team long after they were already disqualified from the World Cup – we loved the creativity, the use of flags, colors and of course – the Payoneer card 🙂 Jean Pier’s original image granted him the first prize – Beats Studio Headphones!

Payoneer’s Choice Runner-Up

Luis from Ecuador

Luis’s epic Ecuador selfie truly shows the unity and team spirit when supporting your national team! It’s bubbly, full of spirit and smiles, and exactly what we wanted this contest to depict. This great submission granted Luis the second prize – an original National Team T-shirt!

Along with Payoneer’s choices, we let our community decide who the remaining three winners will be, based on the amount of likes, comments and shares their image received on our Social Media channels.

Fan Favorite

Mauricio from Argentina

Mauricio took this photo of his friends supporting Argentina in the World Cup, with full kits and a big patriotic flag – he received 120 likes and 16 shares, which makes him the fan favorite. Argentina may have not won the World Cup, but Mauricio will receive a World Cup inspired portable Bluetooth speaker!

Most Liked and Most Shared 

Ahmed from Algeria

Ahmed sent us this image and proved that you don’t need much more than a huge flag of your country in order to support your team and get over 400 likes! Ahmed will receive an official World Cup T-Shirt for his submission.

Zayed from Bangladesh

Zayed is all the way in Bangladesh but showed us his great support for Argentina, with this creative team spirit image! We’re guessing the Payoneer community liked it as well, since it received 63 shares. Zayed will win the World Cup Caxirola so he can always remember the 2014 World Cup.

We would like to congratulate our winners and also all the participants who took the time to send us these images, spend the World Cup with us and share their team spirit. Payoneer’s next contest is coming up very soon… Don’t miss it 🙂

As you know, Payoneer decided to showcase some Spring spirit by creating a cool and artistic contest, asking people to design a Spring-inspired cover photo for our official Facebook page, in our “Signs of Spring” Contest. We received many submissions, full of life, color and smiles, truly portraying what Spring is like for each of you, in all corners of the world. After narrowing down the submissions and going through all the creative designs, we’re happy to announce that the winners have been chosen!

Payoneer’s Choice Winner

Cyrine Sbaa from Tunisia

We chose Cyrine’s design because of its originality and use of natural elements – Spring is a lot about nature, bloom and an earthy feeling and this is what this design made us feel! We also liked that it spelled out our company’s name 🙂 Cyrine’s original and unique image scored him the 1st prize – a digital camera, to capture as many special and cool moments as this one.

Payoneer’s Choice Runner-Up

Agus Riyantiko from Indonesia

Agus from Indonesia chose to celebrate Spring in the greatest way – among friends. We liked the unity and team spirit, the vivid colors and also the short text that came with the image. It sure looks like fun up on the mountains in Pandak Colo! Agus’s submission granted him the 2nd prize – a digital photo frame, to share all his images with friends and family in his home.

Along with Payoneer’s choices, we let our community decide who the remaining three winners will be, based on the amount of engagement their image received on our Social Media channels.

Throughout December and January we had the pleasure of receiving so many inspiring and interesting stories as part of the “Looking Back at 2013” contest. We got to read stories from all parts of the world, written by men and women, young and old, all with one thing in common – Payoneer gave them opportunities and chances they didn’t have before, simply changing their lives. We were moved and inspired by all your stories and now are very happy to announce our winners – the top 3 Payoneer stories for 2013!

“In 2013 – I started my startup called – Dwetech. I have a team of 5 members. Though I’m still at high school – but I hired all Computer Engineers! And still for all our company online transaction and receiving international payment I relay on Payoneer.”

In first place, winning a Kindle Fire HDX, is Abdullah Al Jahid from Bangladesh. Abdullah’s success story truly moved us – wanting to get into the world of computers and programming, Abdullah used Payoneer to become a freelancer and to open his own startup and online business! To read Abdullah’s full story, click here.

“Looking back at 2013, I realized that I’ve always dared to dream big. But I would never have been where I am today had it not been for Payoneer.”

 In second place, winning a Kindle Fire HD, is Neera Rye Ramdhonee from Mauritius. Neera Rye took us back in time, telling us about her childhood dream of becoming a writer, a dream which was hard to reach in the small island of Mauritius. Using Payoneer, Neera Rye was able to realize this dream in 2013 and we couldn’t be happier for her. To read Neera Rye’s full story, click here.

“2013 was a great year for me, thanks to Payoneer. Why? I got the easiest $1,000 I have ever made working online.”

In third place, winning a Kindle Fire HD, is Kevin Omondi from Kenya. We loved Kevin’s story of how Payoneer helped him get into affiliate marketing and also loved to read about his experience with Payoneer’s Refer a Friend Program. To read Kevin’s full story, click here.

We would like to congratulate our winners and thank them for their great stories. We would also like to thank all those who participated and took the time to write and submit inspirational, cool and optimistic stories.
