On October 1st, load up your sun screen, flippy floppies, bicycle (if you prefer), and camera phones…. it’s time to capture as many award-winning pictures as possible.
The event is an Instagram picture driven scavenger hunt with 18 different picture locations around Boulder. Contestants are encouraged to participate individually or as a team. Points will be tallied (plus judge’s discretionary bonus points) and prizes will be awarded at the “Mod Cocktail Party,” October 27.
HOW IT WORKS:
[checklist icon=”fa-plus” iconcolor=”#231f20″ circle=”no” circlecolor=”” size=”13px” class=”” id=””]
[li_item]Register an Instagram account for yourself or your team.[/li_item]
[li_item]Hunt away from October 1-26 posting photos of you and your team in front of the modern landmarks on the list. Only photos loaded between those dates will be counted toward your team’s point total.[/li_item]
[li_item]Use the hashtags provided on the list. We will use the hashtags to find each picture submission so without the hashtag, our judges will not be able to vote on your picture.[/li_item]
[li_item]Points will be tallied and winning prizes awarded at the “Mod Cocktail Party” on October 27.
