The Oregon Wine Board is sponsoring the Capture the Spirit of Oregon Wine Country online video and photo contest which opened on July 4.
Facebook users and Oregon Wine Country fans are invited to share their experiences with creative and memorable photo essays or 60-second videos. Joining Facebook and becoming a fan of Oregon Wine Country's page is free online.
Both fans of the Oregon Wine Country page on Facebook and the entire Facebook community will have a chance to vote for their favorite photos and videos from July 4-August 21. Submissions will be accepted until August 21. Based on creativity, originality and fan response, six $500 cash prizes will be awarded (three photos and three videos) - to help fans stock their cellar with Oregon wines!
Two Oregon Wine Country Weekend Grand Prizes, valued at $2,000 each, will be given to the one video winner and the one photo essay winner that receives the most public votes in the final voting phase. Grand prize voting takes place from September 4-16. Grand prize winners will be announced on September 18.
Facebook, a leading social media networking site, is changing the way wine lovers access information and share their experiences about specific wines and wine country destinations, including Oregon Wine Country.
