Do you love taking selfies? We know you do, stop blushing about it. Well, if you are the owner of one of Motorola’s Moto X handsets, now you get to put that passion to good use.

Motorola has just initiated a contest on Instagram, saying it will award a $3,000 / €2,594 vacation to the taker of one stellar selfie.

The contest is dubbed #MotoPhotoBomb and invites you to go into any Verizon Wireless store across the US and take a selfie with a Moto X (second generation).

Your seflie passion might win you a cool vacation

The trick is that it doesn’t have to be your Moto X, but any Moto X handset that is up on display in a Verizon store near you. After taking the photo, you can go ahead and post it directly on Instagram using the hashtag #MotoPhotoBomb.

Sadly, the chance to win the super cool vacation is given only to US residents, 18 years of age or over. It ends on January 22, so hurry up and visit your local Verizon store.

The winner won’t be selected randomly, as Motorola will be taking into the account “quality of the photo” 50% and “composition” 50%.

The final prize is made up of a $1,500 / €1,297 Delta Air Lines eGift Card, two $500 / €423 Hilton HHonor gift cards, plus a $500 / €432 Visa gift card.

For those out of the loop, the Moto X is equipped with a 5.2-inch AMOLED 1080p display running on a Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.5GHz and fitted with 2GB of RAM.

The Verizon Moto X has started receiving Android 5.0 Lollipop update not so long ago.

Motorola is hoping you will enjoy the selfie-taking activity so much you will be willing to pay for a Moto X handset.

The prospects of winning a vacation are small enough, but the handset comes with a slew of capable specifications, so maybe a Moto X is just what you need in your life.
