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.

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!

 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.
