Emirates - #EKSelfieSong

As a spin-off of its sponsorship of Arab Idol – Season 3, the regional edition of the globally known reality show contest for aspiring singers (see the October 2014 edition of this report), Emirates has launched a musical competition for fans and music lovers in the Gulf region, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Jordan.

Taking inspiration from Arab Idol, the Emirates #EKSelfieSong contest offers fans a chance to showcase their talent and share their musical creations with their friends.

Called the Emirates Selfie Song Challenge , contestants simply have to film themselves singing, humming or using a musical instrument to play the 15-second Emirates ‘Hello Tomorrow’ tune , and then upload their creation to Instagram or Facebook using a dedicated competition hashtag #EKSelfieSong. Video explaining the competition here.

All entries will be mashed into one crowdsourced version of the Emirates ‘Hello Tomorrow’ tune and shared across Emirates’ Facebook and YouTube channels. See this video for an example of an EKSelfieSong entry.

All #EKSelfieSong submissions will enter a draw to win two Economy Class return tickets to any Emirates destination. Bringing in family and friends in the video will get participants bonus points, as will spreading the word by tagging friends in their online social circle.
