A photo and video contest has been launched in Dominica.
“DA Nice” will be the first of its kind on the island and is expected to run from June 20 to July 31.
According to the organizers the contest “is open to entrants of all ages and nationalities.”
Prospective participants are encouraged to post one (1) photo and/or video showcasing “real DA,” “breathtaking DA,” “rejuvenating DA,” “extreme DA,” or “untouched DA” to the uncutGEM FB page (www.facebook.com/uncutgem.da).
Four winners will be chosen from among the top 6 “most liked” entries.
Prizes include a 2-night stay for two at Secret Bay, a personalized photo shoot in nature with 365 MMP, a whale-watching excursion for two with Anchorage Hotel and a dinner for two at Westport Tavern.
“DA Nice” organizers Ama Francis and Nona Lawrence have created the contest “to encourage Dominicans to appreciate the island’s natural resources and actively participate in making Dominica the top eco destination in the world by spreading the word about the country.”
With “DA Nice,” Francis and Lawrence are continuing the effort they started with a travel video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkTqhNN5sBw) submitted to the “Biggest Baddest Bucket List Competition” to spur a grassroots approach to building Dominica’s tourism industry.
I don’t like the name DA NICE. Good initiative anyhow
great idea, can you imagine that it was not long ago that most of the photography for brochures and other promo was done by foreign photographers.
