Samsung is aiming to showcase the lens capabilities of its Galaxy S4 and Galaxy NX devices in a novel way, by handing the gadgets to 16 adventurers and then casting them adrift on a desert island.

The unconventional stunt will see contestants plucked from around the world to take part in a range of tasks and challenges designed to put them (and their cameras) through their paces.

Participants will share images from the events to the brands Facebook page in a competition for votes with the snapper of the most popular pics coming home with a $100k cash prize.

Taking the form of a reality TV show the island goings on will be overseen by ‘Survivorman’ star and survival expert Les Stroud in a live broadcast simultaneously on YouTube and Facebook from 30 September.

Budding volunteers are invited to SOS-Island.com until 2 Sept to claim a spot on the getaway.
