Thank you for all the wonderful entries in the #memoto12 contest! Announcing the winner…

Memoto is all about remembering those special everyday moments, and capturing them with a visual representation that will help us relive them whenever we want.

We appreciate every entry a lot! You can check them out on the contest site here, it will stay active for posterity. We also put together a little collage of a few of the most aesthetically alluring pictures below:

As the caption says: “Kicked cancer in the ass this year. Also sang the national anthem at the local cancer fundraiser game.” We couldn’t ask for a more memorable moment than that, or what do you think? The entry was made by Instagram user “yakebaj” or Jake Jager – we congratulate you, Jake! We’ll get in touch with you to get your delivery details. And again, thank you to everyone who participated!
