LG's #BestShotEver contest is all about photos, New York, and private helicopter rides

If you take pride in your smartphone photography skills, then make sure to have a shot at winning LG's latest #BestShotEver contest. Submit your best work to LG's Instagram account before July 31st, and if you win, LG will offer two LG G4s, and a trip for two to New York where you'll be given the chance to take shots of New York from the comfort of a private helicopter ride.

To take part in the contest, upload a photo to Instagram with the #BestShotEver hashtag and tag it with @LGUSAMobile. If you don't win the big prize, you still have a chance at some loot, as 24 runner-ups will receive a free LG G4. Interestingly, July 31st is also when LG's latest deal - the one that includes a free battery and a spare leather back with each LG G4 purchase - will end.

Speaking of the LG G4 and photo-snapping skills, the 16MP OIS-enabled camera that LG equipped on its latest flagship handset behaved very well in our direct camera comparison with other flagships such as the Samsung Galaxy S6, Apple iPhone 6, and HTC One M9. The 8 MP secondary shooter on the front did not disappoint in our selfie-centric flagship standoff either. Oh, we also have you covered if you're looking for an example of the photos that the LG G4 can take in the hands of a professional photographer.
