GTA 5 News: Create the best photobomb moment to win a GTA 5 prize pack from Rockstar.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is still taking the gaming world by storm and Rockstar has recently revealed a new contest they are holding. Utilizing Snapmatic, the photo sharing app from your in-game iFruit phone in GTA 5 and GTA Online, you can take pictures from the peak of Mount Chiliad, the fifty car pile up you engineered on the road to Fort Zancudo or of yourself robbing the convenience store.

For all of the compulsive shutterbugs playing GTA 5, there is a Snapmatic photo contest that will run from now through the end of the day on Monday, November 4. With this inaugural contest theme of#EpicPhotobomb, Rockstar wants to see the best photobombs you can come up with. Whether it be a unexpectedly volatile pedestrian coming to clobber you, a scantily clad Trevor running amok in the middle of your self-satisfied selfie or a rival player causing an explosive disturbance while you calmly attempt to snap your sweet Los Santos Custom-ized hot rod – they will pick out five of their favorite awesomely amusing and artfully composed iFruit camera pics that fit the bill. The five winning photos will also each score a sweet Grand Theft Auto V prize pack, including an iFruit phone case and phone decals plus an official GTA V tee and the sought-after Chop stash stuffed animal. It should be noted that they mentioned originality and inspiration will be rewarded.

To enter, Social Club members can upload photos from the in-game iFruit phone to the Snapmatic page at socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/snapmatic. When logged in at the Snapmatic page, you can go to “My Photos”, to find your photo and add the hashtag #EpicPhotobomb to automatically have it considered for entry. Additionally, make sure your contact email information is up to date in your Social Club account settings and also encourage you to link your Facebook and/or Twitter accounts to your Social Club profile so that we can easily contact you to send prizes should your picture be chosen.
