Barça-Osasuna, first match to be 'broadcast' on Instragram
The winners of the contest will be FC Barcelona’s official Instagramers for the Barça-Osasuna match this Sunday. It will be the first time a Barça game will be told through photos. In addition, whenever Barça play at the Camp Nou, thousands of photos of the stadium are posted live - starting this Sunday the Club’s official account will highlight some of these photos.
@alinaiatiuc, @itotti69 and @pol1983 are the the winners of the #igersFCB contest that FC Barcelona launched to celebrate the debut of its official Instagram (www.instagram.com/fcbarcelona) account. @alinaiatiuc is an ‘instagramer’ from Moldova who garnered the most votes in the contest, @itotti69’s photo depicts the intersection of new technology and barcelonismo, and @pol1983 shared a photo of his FC Barcelona jersey collection with the city of Barcelona as a backdrop.
The 10 photos that received the most votes from January 15 through the 20th reached the final stage of the contest. From this point, FC Barcelona selected the three winning photos from the 10 finalists. Barça selected the photos based on aesthetic and graphic value in addition to how well the photo conveyed the Club’s values.
The contest marked the debut of FC Barcelona’s official account on Instagram. Since its launch last week, the account has accrued nearly 40,000 followers.
Barça’s official Instagram account joins the Club’s Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google and Tencent Weibo accounts.
