Michelin Launches Riding Season with Social Media Photo Contest

With the summer motorcycle riding season here, Michelin has launched a social media photo contest that gives riders a chance to share their riding experiences and win a set of Michelin Motorcycle Tires.

Through the Michelin Motorcycle Facebook page, Michelin is asking riders to share their photos and add a caption containing the hashtag #MichelinOnMyMoto, allowing the Michelin moto community to vote for their favorites. The contest runs from May 22 through June 30.

“The number of Michelin Motorcycle followers is growing daily, and the conversations around their riding experiences on Michelin tires are creating a tight community,” said Scot Clark, marketing and communications manager for the two-wheel division of Michelin North America. “Whether you’re on an adventure bike, a touring bike, sport bike or standard motorcycle, this is a fun way to share your passion and perhaps win a new set of tires for your motorcycle.”

Beautiful photos, creative use of the #MichelinOnMyMoto hashtag and deftly sharing a post are the keys to winning the most votes. The winner will receive a certificate that can be redeemed for a set of Michelin Motorcycle tires to fit his or her motorcycle, with a retail value up to $500. Riders 18 years and older are eligible. No purchase is required to enter, and the contest is open to riders throughout the United States.
