CALGARY – Shaw’s Freedom Mobile has kicked off a new contest that asks Canadians to share how they use their data for a chance to win prizes totaling $10,000.

From December 6 through December 15, Canadians can enter the '10 Days of Giveaways' contest by following Freedom Mobile’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts, and participating in the daily challenges posted to each social media platform.   

The carrier also said that for every dollar given away, its parent company Shaw will donate an equivalent amount to a registered charity of the winner’s choice.

The $10,000 being awarded throughout the contest represents what Canadians could pay in overage fees if they used 100 gigabytes worth of extra data from other providers, who charge up to $1 per additional megabyte, or $100 per additional gigabyte, according to Freedom.

“Canadians deserve to connect with friends and family without worrying about expensive data overages,” said Paul McAleese, president of wireless at Shaw Communications. “We want to shine a spotlight on the ways people use their devices differently when they have an abundance of data. Our contest helps underscore the true value Freedom Mobile provides Canadians while giving them the opportunity to win great cash prizes and donate to charity.”
