First Annual “Drinks at the Beach” Photo Contest Launched With Flip Flops and Palms

Tagged: ,

In a collaboration with our friends over at Flip Flops and Palms, I am excited to announce that we have launched the “Drinks at the Beach” photo contest to run the length of October. All you have to do to enter is submit your entry via the “Drinks At The Beach Photo Contest” link at the Facebook page for Flip Flops and Palms. First, second and third place prizes plus a judges prize will be awarded based on the number of votes each image gets.

A great big special “thank you!” to our wonderful prize sponsors because this contest would not be possible without them. If you’re a fan of the British Virgin Islands, it doesn’t get much better than this:

First Place Prize and Sponsor – A full day private sail anywhere in the BVI for up to six guests with Tropical Day Sails. Prize value $1950.
Second Place Prize and Sponsor – Two nights in paradise for up to two guests at Leverick Bay Resort. Prize value $300.
Third Place Prize and Sponsor – Lunch for two at Tierra! Tierra! on Scrub Island Resort. Prize value $75.
Judges Prize and Sponsor – One hour photo shoot with award winning professional photographer Heidi Schumann. Prize value $500.

What are you waiting for? We all know you’ve done it – posed your beer or cocktail on the beach or at a beach bar and snapped a pic of it so you could let all your friends back home know where you were and they weren’t. It’s one of the best parts about vacation! So start sifting through all those images and find your best “drinks at the beach” shots and start submitting them (and tell your friends to vote for you!). The contest only runs through the end of October so the sooner you enter, the better! It could make your upcoming vacation to the US or British Virgin Islands a lot more memorable.

Win great prizes as part of the "Drinks at the Beach" photo contest!

The photo deemed by the judges (Beach Bar Bums, Flip Flops & Palms, and Heidi Schumann) to be our favorite wins the Judges Pick Prize. Any ties will be resolved with a vote by the judges.

    • Joanne, click on the “Drinks at the Beach” link in the article which will redirect you to the contest. Then you will need to click on the “Upload” button underneath the promo image and follow the directions. Best of luck in the contest!
