Calling all Brooklyn photographers! Once again you have an opportunity to show off your skills in the borough and win a prize. This time the prize is a $20 gift certificate to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden gift shop, but it's not really about the money is it? It's the chance to have your photo featured on their website and show off to all of your friends. And since the folks over at BBG choose a winner weekly, that means you have multiple chances at stardom!
If you are a fatalist and are thinking, "why bother? I never win anything!" this may just be your chance to reverse the cycle of bad karma and start a whole new winning streak for the year ahead. Why you ask? Because this time the contest doesn't really revolve around skill or artistic talent, oh no! The BBG staff wants photographs of YOU! You and your friends and family having fun in the beautiful, lavish gardens of Brooklyn. So bring your posse and your camera and have your very own photo shoot amongst the picturesque flora, fauna and architecture. And if you just feel like rolling solo, meet a new friend to take your pic or as BBG's website suggests, you can even "hold the camera at an arm's length to capture your own face." But don't get too crazy now, the staff reminds you to follow all BBG visitor rules and not to "pose in any way that may harm plants" (hmmm. . . .)
More info and complete contest rules can be found on their website by clicking HERE. Broke you say? May we remind you that the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is FREE on Tuesdays? Summer will be over before you know it, enjoy what's left of it by taking in some mother nature and celebrate Brooklyn. Good luck!
