Bethpage Federal Credit Union Announces Summer Contests

Bethpage Federal Credit Union has launched two Facebook contests: “The Long Island Summer Photo Contest” invites Long Islanders to submit their favorite summer photo for a chance to win $1,000; and “Free Ticket Tuesday” will award tickets each week to either a Long Island Ducks game at the Bethpage Ballpark or the Atlantis Marine World Aquarium in Riverhead.

Here’s how to enter: The Long Island Summer Photo Contest asks fans to submit a photo that portrays their favorite Long Island Summer moment, be it at the beach, a backyard barbeque, outdoor concert or anything else that means summer to you!  Entries are already pouring in with photos of families enjoying time at the Montauk Lighthouse, Tobay Beach, Belmont Park, fishing, basketball and much more. Five semi-finalists will be selected by Bethpage and will each receive a $100 VISA Gift Card.  Bethpage’s Facebook fans will then vote on their favorite photo to select the Grand Prize Winner of a $1,000 VISA Gift Card.  Public voting for the Grand Prize Winner will begin on Tuesday, September 4, and end Friday, September 7.  The Grand Prize winner will be announced Monday, September 10.

To upload a photo, visit Bethpage’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/lovebethpage, and click on the Long Island Summer Photo Contest icon.  Once your photo is live online, check back often after September 4th to start voting on your favorite photo! “Share” with your friends on Facebook to encourage them to vote for you too!
