Jones Soda Co. and the FIAT Brand Announce the 3rd Annual "Jonesin' for a Fiat 500X" Summer Photo Contest

One lucky consumer to win a brand new 2016 Fiat 500X 
June 3, 2015 , Seattle -  Jones Soda Co., a leader in the premium soda category and known for its unique flavors and branding, and the FIAT brand today announced the return for a third year in a row of the "Jonesin' for a Fiat 500X" summer photo contest. "Jonesin' for a Fiat 500X," which runs from June 1 through Nov. 1, 2015, continues to be an integral part of the overall marketing campaign for Jones Soda and the FIAT Brand to celebrate their ongoing partnership. This year, the Grand Prize winner will receive an all-new 2016 Fiat 500X crossover, a year’s supply of Jones Stripped and have his or her winning photo featured on a production run of Jones Stripped in 2016.
 
Similar to previous years’ contests, contestants who submit summer photos or summer "selfies" (self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone) not only qualify for the Grand Prize but also have a chance to win weekly Prize Packs of Jones Soda and FIAT merchandise. Each weekly winning photo will also appear on a national label of Jones Stripped. Participants in the U.S. and Canada can enter to win by submitting as many of their qualifying photos using the hashtag #JonesinforaFiat500X through Jones Soda Co.'s Official Website, Facebook page or on Instagram and Twitter. Submissions will be judged based on the quality and creativity of the photos by a panel of judges from Jones and the FIAT brand. At the conclusion of the submission period, one winning photo from all submissions will be chosen to win an all-new 2016 Fiat 500X.  
 
With increasing participation and photo submissions by Jones Soda and FIAT fans across North America, both companies look toward continued success as a result of increased awareness and popularity. In addition to the “Jonesin’ for a Fiat 500X” photo contest, the companies will be continuing the FIAT Dealership sampling program, showing support at the Van’s U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, Calif., in July, as well as at other events and social media initiatives throughout North America in 2015.
 
"The continued success of this collaboration can be attributed to two fun and exciting brands that are always on the move to create excitement for our customers," Jones Soda CEO Jennifer Cue says. "As we enter our third year, we continue to see growth and excitement around the partnership, specifically for the summer photo contest and the custom Jones for FIAT purchasers."
 
“We’re excited to participate once again with our friends at Jones Soda to bring this fun, creative photo contest to life,” said Jason Stoicevich, Head of FIAT Brand North America. “This year’s contest is extra special as it coincides with the introduction of our all-new 2016 Fiat 500X crossover, the brand’s first available all-wheel drive vehicle that is built in Italy for America. One lucky winner will have even more to photograph and share when this head-turner arrives in their driveway.”
