Win $500 by Posting Your Iso-Party Pic on Instagram from PayPal

PayPal Australia has launched a new national competition and is challenging Aussies to throw the best ‘iso-party’ and go into the running to win one of six, $500 prizes every week for 4 weeks.

The competition - It Pays to Keep Your Distance – kicks off this weekend and will run for the month of May. To enter, all you need to do is gather your family or friends together virtually, throw an awesome party, and share a screenshot of your party in full flare on Instagram. Make sure to follow and tag @PayPalAU Instagram page and include the hashtag #PayPalisoParty in the post. Each week, PayPal will select the top six party pictures and deposit $500 in the eligible winner party-host’s PayPal account.

The catch? There isn’t one…except everyone knows a party isn’t a party, without a theme. So, to spice things up and inspire partygoers to get inventive, PayPal has set weekly themes:

7 May to 13 May – Mother’s Day party
14 May to 20 May – Saturday night house party with your crew
21 May to 27 May – Sunday brunch with your mates
28 May to 3 June – International food party
But the competition is not restricted to just these themes! If you are celebrating a festive occasion in May such as a birthday party, anniversary, baby shower or other occasion, you are also eligible to enter by posting a picture of your virtual party to Instagram.
