Who loves One Direction the most? Well, Twitter may have the answer to that.
In a massive partnership with the British boy band, Twitter will host a global competition to determine the top 10 countries that go gaga over the four lads.
The prize for the 10 countries which has the craziest Directioners? A unique emoji just for them.
One-hundred and forty countries will duke it out to see who among them are the craziest for Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne, according to a statement released by Twitter.
Twitter will release six emojis, four of which are the singers, one for the band itself, and one for their newest album “Made in the A.M.”
All Directioners have to do is use the hashtags #1D, #MadeInTheAM, #1DLouis, #1DHarry, #1DNiall, and #1DLiam, and the corresponding emojis will automatically appear.
“Only on Twitter could you bring together fans from right across the globe in celebration of the world’s biggest boy band,” Georgina Parnell, Twitter UK’s head of entertainment partnerships, said in the statement.
“We’ve already had over 700 million one Direction tweets in 2015 and I can’t wait to see which country adds most this weekend to earn one of our exclusive One Direction emojis,” she added. “Add to that the amazing emojis of the boys and it promises to be a huge moment for 1D fans on Twitter.”
One Direction’s emoji contest will begin on Nov. 14 at 8 a.m. (Manila time) and end 24 hours later. BL
