Samsung Canada and the GALAXY S 4 reward homegrown talent with the experience of a lifetime

Samsung's latest addition to its mobile lineup - the phone with infinite
possibilities, calls on Canadians with infinite potential


MISSISSAUGA, ON, June 3, 2013 /CNW/ - Samsung Canada, the leading
supplier of phones in the Canadian marketplace, gives Canadians the
opportunity to show their talent and win an experience of infinite
possibilities. Inspired by the GALAXY S 4's features, the Infinite
Possibilities contest recognizes the immense talent that Canadians have
to offer and will help three lucky individuals on their road to
success.



To enter the contest, Canadians need to demonstrate whatever their gift
or passion is, and Samsung Canada will pick the biggest and brightest
stars from across the nation and build once-in-a-lifetime experiences
around their talent. The campaign celebrates Samsung's newest mobile
device, the GALAXY S 4 - a true life companion which has been designed
to help you experience more, live more and accomplish more.



"The GALAXY S 4 is packed with a host of features that inspire
creativity, innovation and design," said Paul Brannen, Vice President,
Mobile Business Solutions at Samsung Canada. "The GALAXY S 4 Infinite
Possibilities experience encapsulates this, rewarding talented
Canadians with the opportunity of a lifetime. We are excited to see
what features of the GALAXY S 4 inspire people and recognize them with
experiences unique to their talent."



To give Canadians a taste of what could happen to them through the
Infinite Possibilities contest, Samsung Canada has already rewarded comedian Nick Reynoldson for his passion to connect with people through humour. Nick was paired
up with Professional comedian Kenny Hotz for one week of comedic
coaching to help him kick start his journey. Check out what Kenny had
in store for Nick here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9lhO9Jo53E&feature=youtu.be


Fashion designer Blake Hyland won the first of three customized
experiences by demonstrating his passion for fashion through this
video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oN65igr-ag&feature=em-upload_owner as well as a link to his collections: http://www.blakehyland.com/. To further Blake's path to success, Samsung Canada has rewarded him
with a trip to NYC, the fashion capital of the world, where he will get
a look book and mentorship experience curated by The Lab Magazine. Once
the look book is created, The Lab Magazine will help launch the young
designer's career by posting a designer spotlight on their website.


There's still time to enter! Running until July 10, Samsung Canada is offering two more personalized
experiences worth up to $25,000. Samsung invites individuals to create
and upload a video showcasing their talent, focused around one of the new features found on the GALAXY S 4.
Winners will be selected from a panel of judges and awarded their
customized experience. Videos must be under three minutes in length and
all content must be original work. For more information on the
application process, rules and regulations, or to submit a video please

As part of this contest, Samsung also invites Canadians to enter their
name into a random draw on the galaxys4possbilities.com site. Each week
of the Infinite Possibilities contest, one name will be drawn and the
lucky winners will be awarded with a Samsung GALAXY S 4.
