As we look forward to Earth Day on April 22 and look for ways to spread some happiness online, join us for a Cute Animals Caption Instagram Giveaway Contest, featuring animals living in U. S. national parks and public gardens!
Show us your sense of humor and creativity! But let’s also be kind – no captions comparing animals to any specific people! Write a fun caption under the animal image on the Embassy’s Instagram @usembkyiv and get entered for a chance to win a gift bag from U.S. Embassy Kyiv!
How to Enter
From April 7 through April 22, 2020, animal images will be posted on the Embassy’s Instagram @usembkyiv. To participate, post a fun caption for the cute animal image in the comment under the image and tag two (2) friends. To increase your chances of winning, post a comment under each contest-related image and like the comment you like the most.
To provide an eligible reply:
- Write a caption about the cute animal in the comment under the relevant post. (Remember: Let’s be kind! No captions comparing animals to specific people will be eligible.)
- Tag two or more of your friends.
- Like the caption you enjoyed the most of all
A participant can only submit one comment under each post; all other comments by a given participant under a given post will be disqualified. Giveaway participants and other Instagram users can vote by liking their favorite caption. The comment that will get the highest number of likes will be also eligible for the prize.
On April 22, those who provided eligible comments will be entered into a Live Instagram Raffle at 4:30 pm Kyiv time to determine the winners who will receive gift bags with U.S. Embassy-branded prizes. Each contest item will have 2 winners – one selected by a randomizer, and one that meets all contest rules and is selected by users based on the number of their likes for the funniest comment. In case of a tie for the most likes, a winner will be randomly selected.
