Pictorious

Pictorious is a mobile-based social contest and photo-sharing platform that enables users and brands to create fun challenges for other users. Players post photos as proof they have completed challenges, with gamification features that let users gain levels, earn points, and purchase virtual goods. Winners of photo challenges are chosen by friends within the platform. The app targets both individual users seeking social-gaming experiences and brands looking to run photo-based marketing campaigns and contests. Pictorious competes in the online photo-sharing and social gaming space alongside platforms like Instagram, Imgur, and Flickr. The company raised $25K in a Seed round in January 2012 from Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator and is based in New York City. The company is currently listed as deadpooled.
