Enter The NBA Photo Contest !

At La Michoacana 
FROM now until July 31, 2015, take photos of yourself and/or friends/family eating out at a Norristown small business restaurant and you could win FREE menu items or a FREE full dinner for two. Here are the rules:

1. The restaurant must be locally owned (no chains) and within Norristown's borders. The patrons can be from anywhere.

2. Photo subjects must be inside eating, not simply in front of the place. Show the décor or hold up a menu. Only patrons can enter their photos in the contest. Restaurants and restaurant owners/workers may NOT post photos of their own restaurant. They MAY post photos of themselves in other restaurants. (Please inform people in the pictures that the photos will be publicly posted on Facebook.)

3. Post each photo to the timeline of NBA Facebook page (you must LIKE the page to post) or if you're not on Facebook, email the photo to info@norristownba.org.

4. The photo MUST be tagged with the name of the restaurant and at least the name of the person who took the photo. ONE photo per post per restaurant. People can enter more than one photo as long as they’re from different restaurants. Only limited by number of restaurants in town. Different people in one dining party can submit different photos of the same restaurant. Photos MUST be in good taste and suitable for all ages or they’ll be deleted.
 
At Banh Mi Bar & Bistro
5. All people posting photos will be entered in our GRAND PRIZE drawing for a dinner for 2 at the Norristown small business restaurant of your choice. The more different restaurants you take photos of, the more you're entered for the drawing.

6. We'll also be giving away free menu items at Norristown restaurants for the following -- Most Creative Photo, Funniest Photo, Photo with the Largest Dining Party (most people around a table).

FOURTH FRIDAYS are a great time to eat downtown and take photos to submit, but we have eateries all over town you can visit the rest of the month. For a list of eligible Norristown restaurants, see our photo album labeled "Restaurant Directory" at this link. Click on the restaurant photos for contact and cuisine info.
 
Remember, the deadline is July 31st, so get out and start taking photos!
