BikeFest Photo Contest

Ride Bikes, take pictures, WIN PRIZES!

We’re working with the onlyinpgh.com blog on a fun BikeFest Photo Hunt Contest. You can win some great prizes, so read on!

Reposting from the onlyinpgh blog:

In honor of BikePGH’s annual Bikefest and Onlyinpgh’s upcoming launch of the Pittsburgh Happenings System, we’re teaming up for the biggest photo contest this side of the Great Allegheny Passage: the “Bikin’ in the Burgh” Photo Hunt!

Here’s how it’ll work:

During Bikefest (August 12 – 21), markers (an example to the right, click on the image to enlarge) will be placed around the city on bike trails, in bike shops and at places where Bikefest events are meeting indicating that the location is a “Bikin’ in the Burgh” Photo Spot. When you see one:

  1. Take a picture of your bike at the location with the marker visible in the picture.
  2. Submit it for the contest to earn a point by either scanning the QR code on the marker with your smartphone or by going to http://onlyinpgh.com/bikefest2011.
  3. Find another Photo Spot! The more pictures you send the more points you earn, and the more points you have the more likely it is you’ll win a prize!

And what are the prizes, you ask? Well, there are a slew of them this time around, including:

The winners will be drawn live at the Closeout Party & Bike Film Viewing at OTB Bicycle Café (2518 East Carson St) from 4:00 – 9:30 pm on Sunday, August 21st. You won’t need to be present to win, but raffle tickets will be sold during the event to enter into the contest or improve your chances of winning if you’ve already entered. There will also be some specific prizes drawn exclusively for event attendees. All raffle ticket proceeds will go to BikePGH.

That’s it—get your cameras and bikes ready! Contest opens at noon on Friday, August 12th!
