Gaelsnap (2016)

Posted in Campaigns Archive.

This competition is closed, and the winners announced.

100,000 people in Ireland use Snapchat everyday to send pictures and videos to friends. Snapchat is used to tell a story via photo or video, with special features such as adding a filter to show your location, temperature, and time.These filters are hugely popular, particularly the geofilter which is available all over the world, including Ireland.

Gaelsnap Dreacht 4

To date most counties have a geofilter available in English only, but the good news is that Snapchat are very interested in creating geofilters in Irish and as a result, Conradh na Gaeilge organised a competition to pick a geofilter for each county.

Everyone had until 19 August 2016 to enter the competition, and the winners were announced in September 2016.
