Microsoft has recently launched a new contest for Skype users, inviting them to ask Simon Cowell a question using the built-in video messaging option.

Users who join the competition can win One Direction tickets or a five-star trip to Los Angeles, the software maker announced a few hours ago.

Of course, just to make sure that more users take part in the contest, Microsoft has also invited some celebrities to ask Simon Cowell a question and show everyone how it’s done before officially starting the competition.

“Some of the world's top celebrities including Demi Lovato, Little Mix and Nicole Scherzinger asked Simon Cowell a question using Skype video messaging. Now it's your turn! Enter our competition to ask Simon Cowell anything using a Skype Video Message and you could win One Direction tickets, awesome Skype swag --or a five-star trip to LA!” the company explains.
