Want to roast your way into the Roaster Village at the SCA‘s Global Specialty Coffee Expo taking place late April in Seattle? Well too bad, because you canโt. BUT you can โGram your way there thanks to a new contest from Royal Coffee. All you have to do is take a (double-tappable) photo of a box of Royalโs Crown Jewels out in the wild, and you may just end up slinging your beans at alongside Royal at the Roaster Village.
Entry is simple: post a photo to Instagram of your Crown Jewel box โin an interesting place or in an interesting situationโ (โPhotoshop skills encouraged but not requiredโ) and tag @royal.coffee.inc and @the.royal.crown. They will repost your photo and the two photos they repost with the most number of likes win.
โAnd what do they win?โ you thirsty roasters are surely asking by now. Iโm getting there, slow your roll. The takers of the two-most liked photos will receive a 22-pound Crown Jewel box of green coffee, the โopportunity to curate your own coffee analysis with The Crown team,โ and of course the chance to serve their coffee at the Royal booth in the Roaster Village at the SCA Expo happening April 21st and 22nd.
The contest is now receiving entries and the winners will be decided by March 27th. Thereโs already one photo up ofย Jamie Smithโlead roaster at Sightglass Coffeeโwith 125 likes, so the bar has been set.
A few suggestions for the industrious Photoshopper looking to take home the prize:
Crown Jewels in space
The Royal Family wearing the Crown Jewels
Run the Crown Jewels
The Crown Jewels of the Nile
An entire garden of Wandering Crown Jewels
Maybe some sort of Pink Panther/Crown Jewels situation
Ok, Iโve typed โjewelsโ so many times that it has lost all meaning and Iโm realizing how funny of a word it is. Anyway, if you use any of these bulletproof ideas to win your way into the Roaster Village, the Sprudge Live desk expects a steady stream of coffee as recompense.
