WNCAA stunners capture college memories in Samsung’s yearbook app

MANILA, Philippines - Global mobile innovator Samsung wowed the campus crowd when it partnered with the Women’s National Collegiate Athletic Association (WNCAA) in presenting the annual WNCAA Cheerleading Competition, one of the much-awaited events in the inter-collegiate meet. Thousands of students from participating colleges trooped to the venue to witness spectacular stunts and morale-boosting cheers that echo the spirit of each school.

Making the event more festive was the selection of the Samsung VJ Hunt winner. Ten young ladies from NCAA schools went head to head in a friendly competition that showcased their beauty and wit. Miriam College’s Andrea Aurellado, an intern in a popular FM radio station, bested the other contestants with her charm and outgoing personality. She received a Samsung S III Mini for bagging the top prize.

The other contenders in the VJ Hunt included Paula Salvosa from La Consolacion College, Julianne Benitez from Philippine Women’s University, Agatha Albano from St. Scholatica’s College, and Hannasi Puri from Centro Escolar University.

The Samsung Stunner was also chosen during the event, and the crowd went wild when Katrice Keirluf was singled out from the roster of outstanding young ladies. She won the newest Samsung WB250F Digital Camera and the bragging rights of being the fairest of them all.

Cellphone cameras went clicking instantly to capture these precious college moments. It is this kind of memorable gathering that the Samsung lady VJs along with the rest of Batch 2013 would love to take pictures of to remember their college days by. And they don’t need to wait for long before they see these pictures in their college yearbooks because Samsung launched an exciting mobile application via an equally enticing promo that will surely delight college students.

The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini Instayearbook app is the first crowd-sourced yearbook using Instagram wherein students can upload their favorite campus photos to create their very own college yearbook.

To create the unique yearbook and qualify for the raffle, each school must encourage their students to upload photos that depict unforgettable campus scenes and experiences and college life. The pictures must be posted on Instagram using the hashtag #S3MiniInstaYearbook[name of school]; i.e. #S3MiniInstaYearbookCSB, #S3MiniInstaYearbookSSC, #S3MiniInstaYearbookCEU, etc., and tag @SamsungMobilePH. All photos will be pooled on Facebook and collated to form a photo mosaic of the school’s logo, which can be found in the Instayearbook app page.

Three Samsung Galaxy S III Minis will be raffled off to lucky participants. Users need only to register on the Facebook page to qualify for the draw.

And as if that isn’t enough, Samsung will also award P70,000 to the school organization that has the most number of unique participants regardless of the number of Instagram photos posted. On top of that, the school with the most number of photos by the end of the promo period will receive P30,000 for the charity or university cause of their choice. The promo runs until March 29.
