Don't forget to add #GivingThanksSelfie to the list of hashtags on your Thanksgiving self-portrait photos this holiday. It could pay off in a big way.

That's because Qatar Airways has announced a week-long contest that will award one lucky social media star who uses the hashtag a trio of expensive prizes, including a pair of round-trip tickets that they'll be able to give away as a present this holiday season.

According to the airline's press release, the Grand Prize Winner will receive a pair of Bose headphones and a pair of Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses in addition to two Business Class tickets for the person of their choice.

The round-trip tickets are good for any destination within the airline's global network.

Contestants can share their photos on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and can enter the contest via Qatar Airways' official website, Facebook page or Twitter account.

Here's an example from Twitter user Christopher Ingle:

The contest began on Monday and runs through Dec. 1. The Grand Prize drawing will take place on Dec. 4.

This Thanksgiving's promotion comes in the wake of another impressive year for the Doha-based airline. The company's press release notes that it began service to three new destinations in the United States in 2014 and now offers non-stop service between Doha and seven premier U.S. destinations.

This week's contest is sure to generate even more buzz for the emerging airline as many Americans taking to social media to share their favorite holiday moments this fall will do so with a shootout to Qatar Airways in hopes of receiving an early Christmas gift.
