Samsung Canada and the GALAXY S 4 reward homegrown talent with the experience of a lifetime

Samsung's latest addition to its mobile lineup - the phone with infinite possibilities, calls on Canadians with infinite potential

MISSISSAUGA, ON, June 3, 2013 /CNW/ - Samsung Canada, the leading supplier of phones in the Canadian marketplace, gives Canadians the opportunity to show their talent and win an experience of infinite possibilities. Inspired by the GALAXY S 4's features, the Infinite Possibilities contest recognizes the immense talent that Canadians have to offer and will help three lucky individuals on their road to success.

To enter the contest, Canadians need to demonstrate whatever their gift or passion is, and Samsung Canada will pick the biggest and brightest stars from across the nation and build once-in-a-lifetime experiences around their talent. The campaign celebrates Samsung's newest mobile device, the GALAXY S 4 - a true life companion which has been designed to help you experience more, live more and accomplish more.

"The GALAXY S 4 is packed with a host of features that inspire creativity, innovation and design," said Paul Brannen, Vice President, Mobile Business Solutions at Samsung Canada. "The GALAXY S 4 Infinite Possibilities experience encapsulates this, rewarding talented Canadians with the opportunity of a lifetime. We are excited to see what features of the GALAXY S 4 inspire people and recognize them with experiences unique to their talent."

To give Canadians a taste of what could happen to them through the Infinite Possibilities contest, Samsung Canada has already rewarded comedian Nick Reynoldson for his passion to connect with people through humour. Nick was paired up with Professional comedian Kenny Hotz for one week of comedic coaching to help him kick start his journey.

To further Blake's path to success, Samsung Canada has rewarded him with a trip to NYC, the fashion capital of the world, where he will get a look book and mentorship experience curated by The Lab Magazine. Once the look book is created, The Lab Magazine will help launch the young designer's career by posting a designer spotlight on their website.

There's still time to enter! Running until July 10, Samsung Canada is offering two more personalized experiences worth up to $25,000. Samsung invites individuals to create and upload a video showcasing their talent, focused around one of the new features found on the GALAXY S 4.
