On the 30th of every month, Stephen Curry (who wears #30 for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors) runs a contest through his Twitter account, @StephenCurry30. Curry uses the contests as a fun way to engage with his fans and gives away prizes including autographed pictures, authentic team gear and more.
With the holidays approaching, Curry put a seasonal twist on Nov. 30 contest. He asked fans to record and post videos of themselves singing Christmas carols. Whomever submitted the funniest video would win a personal Skype chat with the NBA star.
