The 'Creative Boost' contest lets those who own an iPhone or [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-wallpapers) touch show off their creativity for the chance to win a [MacBook Air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-belkin). The [Creative Boost site](http://creativeboost.tumblr.com/) lets contestants upload pictures to their iPhone or iPod touch, process with an iPhone Photo filtering app and submit the photo back. All the pictures were taken by iPhoneographers themselves, and the app used for processing -- the FX Photo Studio -- is basically the most popular photo filtering app available today. Submissions are posted on the Creative Boost site and every week iPhoneographers name two lucky people who get App Store gift cards. At the end of December, they will choose contest winner to win the MacBook Air. The contest started on November 19th and is supported by iPhoneography.com, one of the web’s top sources for iPhone photos. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Rise of Iphoneography:** The increasing popularity of iPhoneography presents opportunities for businesses to develop and market innovative iPhone photo filtering apps. - **Crowdsourced Photo Competitions:** The Creative Boost contest showcases the potential for businesses to create platforms for users to submit and vote on user-generated content. - **Influencer Marketing in Iphoneography:** Collaborating with pro iPhoneographers can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to reach and engage with a creative and tech-savvy audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile Photography Apps:** Developing and improving iPhone photo filtering apps can capture the growing market of iPhoneographers and photography enthusiasts. - **Social Media Platforms:** Creating platforms that host photo competitions and allow for user-generated content can attract and engage users while generating valuable data and content. - **Technology and Gadget Accessories:** Innovating and marketing iPhone accessories that enhance the photography capabilities of the devices can capitalize on the rise of iPhoneography and the demand for quality equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Photo Editing Mobile Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capture-one.md) - [Pro-Grade Smartphone Photography Controls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miops-spark.md) - [Smartphone Photography Editing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adobe-photoshop-app-for-iphone.md) - [Vintage Imaging Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pgytech-retrova.md) - [Content Creator Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipix-iphone-case.md) - [Creative Photo Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstamatic.md) - [Mobile Editing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattebox.md) - [Power-Unlocking Camera Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photon-camera-app.md) - [Proprietary Smartphone Camera Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/final-cut-camera-app.md)
