It consists of capturing the best photograph with a Pokémon, yes, there are several issues that you must take into account before launching yourself like crazy to photograph your environment in Augmented Reality.
We don't know if the Instant GO function has really succeeded as much as those responsible for Pokémon GO say, or if it is just another strategy to move the community of fans around the world.But the contest is a fact, and the prizes are very tempting The fact is that the centerpiece of all this mess is the function that allows you to photograph the different Pokémon that you find on your way through Pokémon GO or that you have already captured. Something that allows you to mix your real world, your environment, with these purely virtual beings. A feature that, with some skill, can deliver surprising and fun results.
Challenge GOsnapshot
This is a contest launched worldwide. Anyone can participate. There are no limits regarding the trainers that participate in it, nor their level, nor the type of Pokémon that pose for the photo. The idea is to get the best snapshots, whether due to creativity, composition or originality. Now, this contest is distributed over three challenges Three big tests that have a limited participation time, starting with the most recent, from the next day April 15, until the latest, which will end on May 22.
The most interesting thing, besides having a fun time participating, are the prizes. There will be a first prize and two runners-up for each challenge. The overall winner will win a PokéStop in her name with their winning photo on it, but alsoa paid trip for two to the Pokémon GO Festevent of their choice. The finalists, meanwhile, will be rewarded with their photo at a PokéStop for three months.
Buddy Challenge
It's the first part of the contest. A challenge in which companionship prevails with that Pokémon that accompanies you on the adventure Who wins sweets with your steps and who has the most affinity with you. The style of the photo is free, without special requirements. Although, yes, it is necessary to participate with three photographs.
To do this, post on Instagram or Twitter these three snapshots with this Pokémon that you have as a partner. Of course, do not forget to publish them with the hashtags or tags GOsnapshot and BuddyChallenge.
Of course, only published photographs will be taken into account between April 15, 2019, until April 24 of this same year.
Habitat Challenge
As its name indicates, this second test focuses on the habitat, but without neglecting the Pokémon, of course. The idea is that the photographs, in this case, match between the type of Pokémon and the place where they can be found Information that is always reflected in the pokédex, and that allows to learn more about these beings and their characteristics.
Again, the test consists of the publication of the three best photographs that we have with our Pokémon in their correct habitat. We can do it on Twitter or Instagram, but always with the hashtags GOsnapshot and HabitatChallenge.
This second test of the contest will take place from next April 29, 2019 until May 8. Moments between which we must publish the three photos focused on the habitat of our Pokémon.
GO Creation Challenge
It will undoubtedly be the most surprising, creative and ingenious part of the contest And there is no limit or guideline what to follow Just focus on being witty with this function to photograph Pokémon. The habitat does not matter and it does not matter that it is our partner Pokémon.The question is that the photos are showy and can stand out above the rest so that they are selected by the jury.
Participation is carried out in the same way as in the rest of the challenges. Three photos must be published, on Instagram or Twitter, but always accompanied by the hashtags GOsnapshot and GoCreateChallenge.
In this case, participation will open on May 13 and close on May 22, 2019.
