Bradenton's Village of the Arts announces photo contest

   There's no shortage of photogenic spots in Bradenton's Village of the Arts. Take a photo of one of them and you could win some cool prizes.

   The Village of the Arts has just announced a new Instagram photo contest. The way it works is, you take pictures somewhere in the Village of the Arts and you post them to Instagram with the hashtag #VOTAPHOTO, along with information about exactly where you took the photo.

   The photos with the most "likes" win gift certificates from galleries and restaurants within the Village of the Arts.(More specifics about the prizes will be announced later.) 

   The only restrictions on the photos is that they have to be taken in the Village of the Arts during the contest dates, Oct. 31-Dec. 1. Once you post the photos, they'll become the property of the Village of the Arts and you'll get credit if your work is used in promotional material.

   The Village of the Arts is near downtown Bradenton, bordered by 14th Street West, Ninth Street West,  Ninth Avenue West and 17th Avenue West. For more information about the contest, contact Luke Sokolewicz at 727-688-4599 or luke.sokolewicz@gmail.com.
