Did you know that the “selfie” was chosen as the word of the year by the Oxford Dictionary? Interesting trivia aside, Yamaha is putting the word to good use by launching the #GetOutAndRide MotoGP photo contest, giving die-hard fans of the team a chance to meet riders Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo at the 2015 Red Bull Indy MotoGP race on August 6 to 10, 2015.
The premise of the competition is pretty simple. If you’re a fan of the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP racing team, all you need to do is visit a participating Yamaha dealership. Once you’re there, look for a Rossi display standee and/or a Rozzi or Lorenzo head cut-out, and a Yamaha motorcycle or scooter, take a picture of the whole gang, and post said picture on your Instagram or Twitter account, or Yamaha Motor USA’s official Facebook page. Oh, you’re going to have to include the #GetOutAndRide hashtag with that photo to be eligible for the competition.
Sounds pretty simple, right?
Well, it isn’t. To honor the spirit of competition in this contest, Yamaha’s not just picking a traditional selfie. Entries will be judged depending on originality, humor, creative use of the Rozzi and Lorenzo props, and what Yamaha calls an “expression of passion for Yamaha motorcycles or scooters.”
Fans of Yamaha should have no problem coming up with a unique pose that will get Yamaha’s attention. Stakes are definitely high here because the winner will get the chance to not only meet both Rossi and Lorenzo, but also get a VIP tour around the team’s garage.
All in all, Yamaha will pick six grand prize winners, all of whom will receive a trip for two to the Indy MotoGP this August. Even if you’re not chosen as a grand prize winner, you still have a chance to win a Rossi-autographed hat. It’s not exactly a trip to the Indianapolis GP, but it’s still a neat consolation prize, to say the least.
