District Launches Instagram Contest on Social Media to Raise Springs Awareness

Susanna Martinez Tarokh, Southwest Florida Water Management Dis, Neighbor

The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) has launched a contest on the social media site Instagram to raise awareness of springs throughout the District. 

Springs sites are a popular hot spot with both local residents and tourists during the summer months and especially holiday weekends. This July 4th, whether you are tubing, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing near one of the many springs in our District, youcan share those experiences for a chance to win a springs prize pack that includes tickets to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park.  To enter, shoot a photo or video while visiting any spring. Then, upload your photo or video to Instagram and tag it #RenewOurSprings through September 2, 2013. Users earn one contest entry for every photo or video tagged.
