In the past year, Jaguar has significantly increased its presence in the social media sphere with the launch of an official JaguarUSA presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, Instagram and FourSquare.
To celebrate the fans of Jaguar, the #CaptureAJag Photo Contest was created through these various channels to drive conversation among Jaguar owners, enthusiasts, followers and fans. This contest has been an invitation to the general public to submit their best photo of a Jaguar car.
The winner will have the first chance to drive an F‑TYPE in the United States. This drive experience includes a first class trip for two, a three night hotel stay, a Jaguar to use during the stay, and the opportunity to participate in a Jaguar F‑TYPE test drive at an on‑track event within the continental United States.
