Recognize Ugly Snapchats as a legitimate art form, and also recognize the act of Ugly Snapchatting as a sport.

Created by J.W. on February 15, 2014

Snapchat is a prominent social media platform, used mostly as a means of communication for the nations teenagers. As snapchat usage progressed, many close friends began taking Snapchats that were deliberately crafted to be as ugly as possible. This practice has been curated by many, and is considerably an artform. There have been many clear artistic movements within the snapchat community such as the "ironic pics movement," "booty movement," "post modern," and also "protest/exploitation movements." As for the claim of sport, Snapchat hosts a score, obtaining a higher score than a friend is highly competitive. This petition also proposes a real time sporting event in which competitors must snap whilst on a sporting field on teams. Major cities will have their respective teams. Thank you.
