As you all know, we recently held a cool contest in which we asked you to send us your funny/interesting/original selfie and a short text to accompany the image. Today we’re happy to announce our lucky winners!

1st Prize Winner – Maira Abro from Pakistan

Maira sent us this sweet selfie of herself, telling us “I have taken selfie at home on Eid ul Uzaha” – we liked the vibrant colors and Maira won us over; Maira will get a Go Pro Hero Camera to take many more memorable photos.

2nd Prize Winner – Adelaida Millan from Venezuela

Adelaida took a selfie with her family and wrote “Proud with my beautiful family, they are the center of my life. Love you” – we have a soft spot for family portraits and so we decided to give her the second prize – a cool digital action camera, to capture a lot of fun family activities.

3rd Prize Winner – Nuruddin Ahmed from Bangladesh

Nuruddin sent us this selfie and the following text: “I am Nuruddin Ahmed with my beautiful and lovely wife Mithila Jahan. We are new couple and we got married at 13th June, 2014. This selfie was taken in the roof of our new home”. I think we don’t need to say much other than what he wrote – a great couple selfie which won Nuruddin and Mithila a monopod so they can take endless selfies in their new joint journey together.

You might remember that we promised 3 winners in the Tag YourSelfie contest, but we had so many votes for an additional selfie, that we spontaneously decided to make it 4 winners!

4th Prize Winner – Irtiza Nakvi from Pakistan

Irtiza took this cool and stylish photo of him and his friends – it’s fun and we like the filter. Looks like a fun gang to hang out with! Thank to this selfie, Irtiza will also receive a monopod that he and his friends can use in all their activities, trips and fun times.

We’d like to thank everyone for participating and sending in some great selfies and interesting comments. Congratulations to our winners and see you soon in a brand new contest! Please stay tuned on our blog and Social Media channels so you don’t miss out.

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.

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 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!

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.
