Microsoft to Launch New Xbox Monthly Photo Competition

Microsoft is soon going to launch a new competition for Xbox One owners. The company is launching a new monthly photo competition, dubbed XboxShot, that will let users win prizes by sharing screenshots based on certain themes every month.

The competition is very simple: each month, Microsoft will share a theme for the competition. All you have to do is take screenshots on Xbox One X enhanced games for that theme and then share it on Twitter with the hashtag #XboxShot. Microsoft will then choose a winner and the winner will get the prize set for that month. It’s very similar to some of the photo-related competitions Microsoft used to run for Lumia devices back in the old days.
