Verizon Launches ‘Wish For More Sweepstakes’ For KCON 2014

Verizon, the technology sponsor for the upcoming KCON 2014 festival, has reintroduced the "Wish For More Sweepstakes."

The event will give one lucky fan the chance to win a VIP trip for two to KCON 2014, the largest Korean pop culture convention in North America.

Included in the prize pack are two VIP tickets for the convention and concert as well as airfare, hotel accommodations for three nights and a technology prize pack that includes a smartphone, tablet and another surprise tech item. 

To enter the contest, follow KCONWishSweepstakes on Instagram and visit any Verizon Wireless store before July 29 and take three photos of your favorite mobile products including one smartphone, tablet and accessory of your choice. Upload the photos on Instagram using #KCONWishSweepstakes as your hashtag.

For the K-pop fans that don't use Instagram, you can enter online by using a form provided by Verizon Wireless.

This year, KCON will take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena from August 9 to 10. The convention will feature two nights of performances by top K-pop artists and will be taped as part of the Korean music program "M Countdown."

The lineup on August 9 will include Big Bang's G-Dragon as well as K-pop sensations B1A4, IU, VIXX and Teen Top.

Girls' Generation will headline on August 10 followed by performances by CNBLUE, BTS, SPICA and Jung Joon Young.

Last year, a total of 20,000 fans attended the two-day event, according to the LA Times. This year's crowd is expected to get bigger and even more diverse.

"When we threw open the gates open last year, one of the most inspiring things was seeing the diversity of the audience. There was every ethnicity, and I'd say Koreans were probably not the majority," stated president and chief executive of MNet America, Ted Kim, last year.
