Destination Halifax Launches Halifax, Nova Scotia Photo Contest

A perfect moment in Halifax, Nova Scotia, captured in a photograph, could lead to many more photo opportunities -- in the form of a $2,500 vacation package prize. From HH the fall colours in Point Pleasant Park to romantic sail around the Halifax Harbour or an outdoor concert on Citadel Hill, perfect moments abound in this beautiful destination.

Destination Halifax launched its year-long Perfect Day Photo Contest, and the grand prize is a fully-customized and personalized Halifax vacation package. Favourite snapshots representing a special day or moment in Halifax may be uploaded to the contest website. Finalists will be chosen monthly by a panel of judges, with first, second and third prizes awarded quarterly. The grand prize will be drawn on March 31, 2010. Photos may be submitted at http://aperfectday.destinationhalifax.com/.

The Perfect Day Photo Contest launch coincides with Destination Halifax's incorporation of social media tools into its marketing mix, starting with a Facebook page for Halifax. The Halifax facebook page allows fans to post their own videos and photos, and will include links to the Perfect Day Photo Contest as well as information on quarterly winners and new finalist photos. The winning photos will be featured on the Facebook page, and the Destination Halifax website as e-postcards.
