FIRST Championship in Snapchat

[orangelight]

Our team had snapchat account like this but sadly we had to shut it down

This would be really awesome to see in snapchat, definitely a great way to spread the word about FIRST! I bet if a lot of people sent in requests to Snapchat and information about the location ect., they might take our suggestion.

This is a great idea! If anyone knows where to email, let me know and I'll throw in my support.

This is an awesome idea, kudos. This would be a great new platform for outreach.

I think submitting a request for being featured in the LIVE section would be possible by sending in feedback through their website feedback form (linked here) . Also, it would be cool if someone created a geofilter for champs. I would think it is more likely for the Snapchat team to realize that the event is going on if a filter was created and submitted. People can submit geofilters they create to the Snapchat team Here.

Just a quick warning about the geofilters, it says here that the work has to be original, so using the FIRST logo will probably be denied. Your team logo should work though.

That being said does someone with artistic talent wanna design a quick sketch of maybe a can on a tote?

You might be able to work with FIRST toward getting the permissions to use the logo for it! Try contacting them through some other social media they have!

To contact FIRST marketing, I would think it would be best to email them at marketing@usfirst.org

Thanks for all your support! I have sent the suggestion and I´m sending an email right now to FIRST so they can help us with this! And thanks to all the teams that are joining the idea! We need all of the FIRST community to get involved!! Please spread the word!

People on the subreddit have been discussing this also and at least two people have already submitted geo filters to snapchat. I think this would be a pretty sweet idea and the more people show involvement, the more likely this is to happen.

I LOVE this idea! This would be an awesome way to get people hyped about FIRST.

One of my friends made this 2015 Champs-themed background for Snapchat and plans on sending it in to them. She's too shy to post it herself but she gave me permission to share it with the world, since I think it's pretty cool.



The transparent part of the image would be where the photo would be. It's easier to see on this black background.

This is a great idea, and hope snapchat allows this!
