Englewood, CO, April 11, 2022.- DishLATINO, a leading pay television provider serving the Hispanic community in the United States, announced today the launch of its Sweepstakes “El Chavo Filter” on Instagram. As part of its “Latino Like You” campaign, fans of El Chavo del Ocho and Eugenio Derbez can take selfies on Instagram using preprogrammed emoji expressions that can be used for unique selfies with the beloved icons. 
 
By using the front (or selfie) camera on the phone, users can select the DishLATINO filter and the two famous actors will join in the selfie view. When users make the facial expression of a certain emoji, El Chavo and Derbez will match that expression.

“After launching our TV commercial ‘Icons,’ many fans of El Chavo expressed their feelings of nostalgia and longing for their favorite character via social media, so at DishLATINO we think this filter is an extension of our efforts to bring our customers closer to their culture and traditions, and of course, closer to their beloved Chavo del Ocho,” said Alfredo Rodríguez, Vice President of the Latino Center of Excellence at DISH Network.

The Chavo Filter sweepstakes will last six weeks, running from Monday, April 11 at 12 AM EST to Sunday, May 22 at 12 AM EST. Each week a $100 gift card will be drawn randomly, and in the sixth week, a $1,000 prize will be drawn.

Participation** requires taking a photo with DishLATINO’s filter of El Chavo and Eugenio Derbez, and sharing it as an Instagram story with the tag @dishlatino. For additional entries, participants can follow @dishlatino and tag friends in the comments of DishLATINO’s promotional posts for the filter (each tagged friend is an additional entry). Contestants may enter to win every week up to 10 times (shared filter on stories).
