‘Selfie’ Competition For Tradesmen and Women

Posted on November 21, 2013 by DIY Doctor

Mike Edwards and Jim Gardner from DIY Doctor
Our ‘Selfie’ Mike Edwards and Jim Gardner from DIY Doctor

Send us Your Selfie

This week ‘Selfie’ was named by Oxford Dictionaries as the word of 2013, coming in from the world of social media where it means a self portrait photograph – usually taken on a phone or tablet.

To celebrate this new addition to our vocabulary DIY Doctor is teaming up with Checkatrade who are running a ‘selfie’ competition for tradespeople from the building and construction industry.

We are supplying three great prizes to inspire you to get snapping and to send in your very own ‘selfies’ of you and your team. Together with Checkatrade we will be posting the best and most creative.

How to Enter

Please email your entry to digitalmarketing@checktrade.com. The competition closes 2 December. Good luck and get snapping!
