The contest, which will take place from August 15 to October 31, is taking place online through the Chamber’s Facebook page and a customized Facebook photo application. It is through this application that residents will be able to submit photos and vote on other submissions, in order to determine which images best capture the quality of life and visage of Danville. Chamber members and Danville businesses will have the opportunity to become sponsors – contributors to the contest responsible for direct resident marketing through their businesses and who will be randomly paired with submissions.
To better ensure that the winning photos capture the Town of Danville in its entirety, four distinct submission categories have been developed: ShopDinePlay, Town Events, Parks & Recreation, and Nature & Architecture. The three photos from each category that accrue the highest votes during the contest –12 photos total – will be considered the winners. Winning submissions, the responsible residents, and the sponsored paired with those submissions will be congratulated by November 7 and announced publicly at the Lighting of the Old Oak Tree.
The residents responsible for these winning submissions will receive mobile Danville gift cards in values up to $150 and have their photo, providing it abides by all contest rules, featured within the collectable series of Town of Danville postcards to be developed. The sponsor accruing the most votes from a single photo submission will receive a free, one year membership with the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce.
