Southern Delaware Tourism photo contest entries due March 15
To celebrate Southern Delaware and keep this destination top of mind throughout the winter, particularly with visitors planning warmer-weather vacations, Southern Delaware Tourism is sponsoring a photo contest. Both locals and visitors are invited to enter and share their photos of Southern Delaware people and places. Entries will be accepted until 5 p.m., Wednesday, March 15, and winners will be announced Friday, March 31. There will be one grand prize winner chosen as well as one winning photo in each of three categories. The categories are:
- People: Photos of people having fun playing on local beaches, bays, waterways and boardwalks or enjoying a meal along the Culinary Coast. Judges would love to see shots of people biking, hiking, paddling, having fun at a Sussex County festival, visiting area museums or shopping.
- Places: Photos of incredible local scenery - anything from iconic Southern Delaware scenes to special little out-of-the-way beauty spots. This category welcomes photos featuring scenery, wildlife, historic downtowns and heritage areas.
- People's choice: All qualifying entries will be posted to the Southern Delaware Tourism Instagram account, and the entry receiving the most hearts wins a prize. Follow visitsouthdel and look for #SoDelPhotoContest2017.
Winners will be selected by acclaimed photographer and publisher Kevin Fleming. The grand prize winner will receive a weekend getaway at the Bellmoor Inn and Spa in Rehoboth Beach.
Individual category prizes are: People: two tickets for an Eating Rehoboth Walking Food Tour of Rehoboth Beach; Places: two tickets for an Eco Tour with Cape Water Tours and Taxi; and People's Choice: two VIP passes for the 2017 Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Bacon Fest.
To enter, email photos to TinaC@VisitSouthernDelaware.com by 5 p.m, Wednesday, March 15. Include name, address, telephone number and photo location in the email, and attach a model release if necessary. Winners will be notified via email Friday, March 31.
