No prior registration is required. Only pictures containing a Mtn Dew image will be accepted; pictures containing any other third-party logos will be disqualified. Once you have submitted your first picture, you will receive a message sent back to you with a URL to connect to Facebook and/or Twitter using Pongr's integration with these social networking sites.

If your mobile device does not allow you to browse the web, you may type the URL into your computer and connect to Facebook and Twitter through your desktop/laptop browser. You do not have to complete this step if you do not want to because your user ID will be the unique email address you submitted your picture from.
