Lost in J-Town

 

Contest-o-rama

Phillip | Media | Monday, June 1st, 2009

Due to popular demand, I’m holding another contest. I’ll detail the specifics in a second. But first, a little bit of a recap.

I haven’t had much time to voyage into Jacksonville, but I did make it to Scores Bar and Lounge. That place was a pretty homey hotel-connected dive. At the time, it was Easter, and I ended up winning the grand prize in a drawing. The prize: an Easter basket that contained a full-sized chocolate bunny, several empty Easter eggs, decorative neon basket lining, a Scores Bar and Lounge T-shirt, and a Scores Bar and Lounge commemorative whistle. The next day, I went to the beach. During the course of the night previous, the basket ended up in the back of my friend’s pickup. By the time we arrived at the beach, my chocolate bunny had melted into a tidy pool in the bottom of the box. Luckily, the shirt was intact. However, it was a little too big for me, so it will make a fine commemorative T-shirt for my larger-sized brother.

My neighbor’s magnolia tree is bursting forth with fragrance and blooms. It is quite a beautiful thing. My tomato plant is slowly reaching its way to the sky. My carrots are digging their humble way into the soil.

That’s really about it.

So now for the contest.

I want your best beach photographs. I want sand, sun, smiling faces, coolers, beach balls, frisbees, sandcastles, volleyballs, “hang loose” hand gestures, surf boards, maybe a few adult beverages, maybe a few family-friendly beverages, cookouts, et cetera. Please submit images via these routes:
     For digital images: pameling@freedomenc.com
     For physical images: “Lost in J-Town” Beach Pic Contest co/Phillip Ameling; 724 Bell Fork Road, Jacksonville, N.C., 28541.

If you submit a photograph, you will probably win something. I haven’t figured it out yet, but it’ll definitely be something. The criteria for award-winning images will be left entirely to me. I hope to see a lot of good stuff from you.

So until next time, log on to “Lost in J-Town” to see the winners.
