The 2014 Motorcyclist Photo Hashtag Challenge

Motorcyclist Magazine is excited to announce a new Instagram Photo Challenge and we'd like all of our readers, social followers and MCOnline viewers to participate. It'll be fun and easy, and the first lucky winner will receive a new Shoei X-Twelve Marquez2 TC-1 helmet (MSRP: $839.99)! And every month, one exceptional photo will be selected and featured in a future issue of Motorcyclist Magazine as well as here on the Motorcyclist Magazine Up To Speed website blog.

The Motorcyclist Photo Challenge will be held monthly throughout 2014 with Motorcyclist editors choosing a hashtag theme of the month. To enter, readers will be asked to post Instagram photos that best capture the theme along with the appropriate hashtag.

Two grand prize winners will be chosen; one in April and another in August to coincide with the two U.S. rounds of the 2014 MotoGP World Championship. Make sure to check in daily with the Motorcyclist Facebook page and Up To Speed blog on the Motorcyclist website for Challenge themes, updates and photo submissions.

Important: Remember, you must be on Instagram and follow @MotorcyclistOnline to participate, and your IG feed must be set to public so that we can see your tagged photos. So log in at Instagram now and follow @MotorcyclistOnline, or grab your mobile device and install the Instragram app if you're not yet on IG. We'll announce the first Hashtag Challenge on our Facebook and Instagram pages very soon so be ready!

(Note: be sure to follow the new @MotorcyclistOnline Instagram page that says "motorcyclistonline" at the top and NOT the old motorcyclistmagazine page.)
