We are running an Instagram contest for a $100 gift certificate. Here’s what you need to do:
- Take a pic of your MJTrends order or something you’ve made from MJTrends materials.
- Tag it with: #MJTrends
- Post it to Instagram by July 30th.
See some sample posts here:

I appreciate that the contest encourages people to show off what they’ve made, not just promote the brand, which makes the entries more interesting to browse.
A giveaway tied to actual user creations feels more engaging than random draws, especially when you can scroll through the entries for inspiration.
Seeing the sample posts already under the tag makes me curious how creative people will get with staging their MJTrends materials.
Cool idea to require posting a photo of something made from your materials; it’ll be fun to browse the tagged posts before the July 30 deadline and see how people used their orders.
A $100 gift card is a solid incentive, especially for people who regularly buy fabric or supplies here and can easily snap a quick photo to enter.
The contest feels community-driven since everyone can browse the tag and see others’ projects, not just submit and forget about it.
The example tag feed you linked makes it easy to see what counts as an entry, especially for people unsure whether to post a finished item or just their order.
The timing is good, but July 30 might sneak up on people who are mid-project, so I wonder if many entries will be simple order photos instead.
Good call including both the requirement to tag and the clear deadline, since those are usually the two things people miss in Instagram contests.
Nice that both finished creations and simple order photos qualify, since not everyone has time to sew something before the July 30 cutoff.
I like that the entry isn’t just a follow or like, but actually sharing a project or haul and tagging MJTrends on Instagram for a shot at the $100 gift certificate.
Glad you included the direct Instagram tag page because it shows the variety of entries and helps set expectations for how to tag posts correctly.
This seems straightforward enough: post a pic, tag MJTrends, and do it before the deadline, which makes it accessible even for beginners.
Linking to the tag feed is helpful because it shows how others are composing their photos, from raw materials to finished garments.
It’s nice that you don’t overcomplicate the rules, just post a photo and tag it properly, which lowers the barrier for participation.
Yes – the winner was announced today on our blog and in our newsletter.
Have you selected and announced the winner yet? Never saw anything about who won.
I like that even a simple photo of an order counts, because it encourages participation from people who haven’t had time to turn their materials into something yet.
