This year AAD Meeting News hosted its first ever Twitter photo contest during the 72nd Annual Meeting in Denver. And not just any photo contest — a selfie contest. From classic up-close selfies taken with an extending arm and casual shots with friends, to group photos and fun poses with the Colorado Convention Center’s famed 40-foot Blue Bear, we had a tough decision to make!
Without further ado, the winner of the #AAD14 selfie contest was submitted by Hassan Galadari, MD, @HGaladariMD, who came to The Mile High City, and then went a mile higher, up into the Rockies, to capture this pic.
Honorable mentions
While only one selfie could win the $50 Starbucks gift card, we enjoyed your submissions so much that we wanted to give a shout out with some honorable mention to:
Most Tenacious and Self-Confident Award goes to @SkinDocKel who submitted more than 15 selfies and was also a poster presenter at the meeting. ‘A’ for effort.
Selfie on Demand Award goes to @nishitspatel and was taken after the Residents and Fellows meeting — at our request.
Yes, It’s Actually Snowing Today When It Was So Warm Yesterday Award goes to @VijCoMD.
The Excellent Use of Blue Bear in Background Award goes to @dougstro.
The When Your’re Smiling, The Whole Convention Smiles With You Award goes to @marga_rc.
The Good Use of Perspective in a Selfie Award goes to @DrTKeaney.
You can also view even more of our selfie submissions on the Meeting News website. Thank you to all Annual Meeting attendees who made the selfie contest a success! Looking good, AAD members and friends!
