English translation: get quacking!

German term or phrase: quakmit
Does anyone know what "quakmit" means? The text is about a contest for going with someone to Belgium. They added a hashtag at the end - #quakmit. I'm posting the whole paragraph for reference, but I only need help with this one word. I get that it's most likely "something" with - like come with, or go with, etc. I originally left it as is but the client wants it translated.

Ganz egal ob belgische Waffeln, Pralinen oder das leckere Bier. Ich freu mich, wenn ihr mich nach Brüssel begleitet. Bis Sonntag könnt ihr noch Enties posten, die zwei Bilder mit den meisten Likes gewinnen eine Reise für je zwei Personen! #quakmit

agree  Edwin Miles: Short, clear, pretty punchy. Although I'm surprised the client actually wants it translated, seeing as it's a hashtag...

  -> Thanks, Edwin. I am surprised, too, especially after all the Donald Duck jokes I've put up with all these years and being a shrink on top of it, quack-quack. Well back to my duck collection. Seriously, I have accumulated one over the years. Lol

agree  philgoddard: It would help to know who is saying this and what the competition involves, but "Enties" presumably implies a duck connection.
