itel’s Holiday Jingle Competition
Itelers, do you love to sing, dance, or karaoke? We have an exciting holiday challenge for you!
We’ve created a special “itel” version of a popular holiday classic, Jingle Bells, and we want YOU to perform it for us.
Film yourself singing the song in any style you want – classic holiday carol, rap, SOCA-style, country, dancehall, salsa etc. Put your own spin on it, style it up with some holiday-themed costumes, fun props, dances, or holiday colors, and the more creative you get with it, the better, because…
Besides bragging rights, 3 Finalists will have their videos featured on our social media, where people get to vote for their favorite one.
The Winner will be showcased on itel’s social media and across our onsite TV screens this holiday season. They will also get a prize!
PRIZE:
$150 USD Gift Card for Individuals OR Groups of 3 or Less*
*Only 1 winner will be selected. If the winning entry is a group, prize to be shared among group members.

JUDGING CRITERIA
We are not looking for professional quality filming or even the best voices. What counts is your enthusiasm, originality, and creative use of costumes, props, or dancing!
Our Judging Panel will be looking for the following:
- Creativity/Originality
- Enthusiasm/Energy
- Quality of Costume/Dress/Props
The Judging Panel will assign points for each area and will determine the 3 Finalists to be featured on social media.
The winner will then be determined by the number of Likes or Comments received on social media.
If a tie occurs, where 2 Finalists have the same number of votes, the winner will be determined by our very own Founding Chairman and CEO, Yoni Epstein.
