Photo contest winner to receive two-night stay on the beach
Residents and visitors alike are invited to join a contest to win a free two-night stay on Fort Myers Beach by simply uploading a photo on Instagram by May 12.
“Lighthouse Island Resort on Fort Myers Beach wanted to celebrate the fact that season is ending,” Paradise Creative Group Brand Manager Jacqueline Wilson said about the contest.
The contest is easy: Between now and May 12, individuals are asked to submit photos taken at the Lighthouse Island Resort Inn and Suites, Yucatan Beach Stand, or the Yucatan Waterfront while using the hashtag #SWFLinaSnap on Instagram.
Wilson encourages participants to have their profiles set to public because if their Instagram account is set on private they cannot follow their hashtag.
“We simply won’t be able to locate the photo if it’s private,” she said.
Participants have to share their pictures from the restaurant, tiki bar, or stay at the hotel.
“The pictures have to be taken at these locations,” Wilson said, adding that there is no limit to the number of entries. “The general manager of Lighthouse, Brian Roessler, will be selecting the picture that wins.”
Wilson said last year they had quite a few entries for the contest. With that said, she said they are hoping to see a better turnout this year.
“This year we are promoting it through different ways. We simplified the contest,” she said, adding that last year the photo had to be uploaded to Facebook and Instagram, while this year it only has to be shown on Instagram.
