FALL In Love With Athens!

2010 Digital Photo Contest

September 30 - November 15, 2010

The Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau invites you to participate in our Fall 2010 Digital Photo Contest. Submit an original photo that you think captures the atmosphere of Fall in Athens, Georgia.

We're looking for your take on the season, so WOW us with photos of your tailgate, a beautiful landscape, or a rockin' event that you attended. All original, digital photography is eligible for submission into the contest.

The two winners, "Best Overall Photo" and "Fan Favorite Photo", will receive a prize package worth $250.00 and the recognition of having your photo and name prominently displayed on our websites. Your photo will be seen by thousands of people each day! The winning photos will also have the chance to be included in future projects by the CVB.

Visit our website to read the complete contest rules, then upload your images to Facebook to enter. Be sure to include the following in the photo description in order to be considered:

1) FALL In Love With Athens- F2010 Photo Contest (write this first!)

2) A short description about the photo including where you were, what you were doing, and why the photo is a great representation of The Classic City.

Twitter Contest: Wine Fest

We are giving away 3 pairs of tickets to our Twitter followers today, tomorrow, and Thursday for the Fall Wine Fest.

The 10th annual Fall Wine Fest gives Classic City adults a chance to unwind. On October 25th, the lawn of Ashford Manor will be a haven for food, drink, and live music from Jeff Soileau and Short Road Home.

Twenty five local restaurants and eight different wineries, package stores, and breweries will provide samples of their products. Local favorites like Harry Bissett's New Orleans Cafe, Last Resort, The National, and Speakeasy will be catering the event. Festival-goers can enjoy beverages from several local wineries including Five Points Bottle Shop, Terrapin Brewery, and more. The festival also features a raffle and silent auction.

How to Participate

The same format as our previous Twitter contests still applies. Simply re-tweet my post throughout the next 3 days about the Fall Wine Fest. The winner will be picked from a random number generator and announced each following morning.
