Samsung Electronics Canada today announced the
launch of the ‘This is My Epic’ contest, inviting Canadians to
share their best photos captured with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone
for a chance to win 1 of 10 prizes consisting of $1,000 cash and a
Samsung Galaxy Prize Pack including a Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy
Watch5 and Galaxy Buds2 Pro (valued at $2,399.97 based on MSRP)1.
Samsung Canada will also host a series of
photography workshops at Samsung Experience Store locations in
Toronto, Burnaby and Montreal, empowering Canadians to level up
their photography skills and learn how to take pro-like shots with
a Galaxy smartphone. The workshops will be hosted by renowned
photographers Shahbaz Sheikh, Eric Branover and Karin Keller who
will share creative insights alongside tips and tricks for
capturing epic action, lifestyle, artistic, and nature photography
leveraging the incredible camera capabilities of the Galaxy S23
Ultra. Each session will be followed by a street photography
experience where participants will test out their new skills in a
real-life context.
“At Samsung, we’re always looking to push the
boundaries of Galaxy innovation by setting new standards for what
your smartphone can do,” said Raj Doshi, Head of Mobile
Business at Samsung Electronics Canada. “Through the ‘This
is My Epic’ contest and workshops, we hope to inspire Canadians to
explore the creative experiences available through their mobile
devices and capture their most epic photography yet.”
Launched earlier this year, the Samsung Galaxy
S23 Series delivers an elevated camera experience that provides
users more opportunity for creative self expression. With
DSLR-style image shooting, Nightography capabilities and editing in
RAW2 and JPEG, the Galaxy S23 Series makes it easy for any level of
photographer, from the everyday user to the professional, to
capture phenomenal pro-like content that stands out from the
crowd.
“I’m thrilled to work with Samsung Canada on
‘This is My Epic,’ and invite my fellow Canadians to try out one of
my favourite ways to capture moments,” said Shahbaz Sheikh,
Toronto-based photographer and workshop leader. “I’m truly
amazed by the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which has allowed me to
produce next-level content for my portfolio, and I’m excited to
share my favourite Galaxy camera features and to see the epic
photos workshop participants capture using this device.”
‘This is My Epic’ workshops will be held in
Samsung Experience Store locations across Canada in Toronto,
Montreal, and Burnaby on the following dates:
- CF Toronto Eaton Centre on June
