ARE THERE ANY QUALIFICATIONS FOR PICTURES?

WHAT IS INSTAGRAM AND HOW DO I GET IT?
Instagram is an application for your mobile device.
- Download the Instagram app in the App Store on an iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad), or in Google Play for an Android device.
- After installing the app, open it on your device
- Tap the ‘Sign up’ button to begin the account creation process (the ‘Sign up’ button is at the bottom left of the screen).
- Follow @TextbookRush
- Don’t forget to hashtag your submission #DeckedOutDorm or #TextbookRush!
WHY DON'T MY IMAGES SHOW UP?
We need to approve your image before it appears on the site. If you don't see your image after 24 hours, check the following:
- Do you have your profile set to private? If so, make sure your pictures are public so we can include them in your gallery.
- Make sure you used the correct hashtags (#DeckedOutDorm or #TextbookRush) and spelled them correctly.
- Make sure you add the hashtags to a new image. Images posted prior to September 23, 2013 will not appear.
If you followed all of these steps, make sure your image appears when you search the hashtags you used on your picture. If it doesn't appear in the search, send us an email to deckedoutdorm@textbookrush.com with your Instagram username and we'll add your picture manually. Sometimes Instagram hashtagging doesn't work properly, and we want to make sure you get your gift card!
