ON YOUR PARK 2016 CONTEST REGISTRATION
REGISTER TICKET PACKETS HERE CONTEST RULES LIKE US ON FACEBOOK!
The Competition:
Area municipalities nominated a park of their choosing and are cooperatively promoting local parks, challenging community members and residents to explore the parks throughout the month of July. Individuals who register and vote can help their park win grant funds from the Pottstown Area Health & Wellness Foundation. At the same time, the more an individual votes, the more likely they are to win some of our great prizes!
Municipal Prizes include:
Healthiest Park Prize: The park who receives the most votes (visits) in the month of July.
Activity Challenge Prize: The municipality whose residents register and collectively cast the most number of votes regionally.
If you registered online by June 20:
- You’ll receive a ticket packet in the mail (by July 1) that includes 1 ticket to each of our 12 participating parks!
- You’ll also receive a map of the region so you can pick the parks you are most excited to get to know 🙂
- You’ll need to go to Facebook and like our page @ Mission Healthy Living to follow the contest updates throughout the month of July.
- Aside from tickets, you can take one selfie, per day, per park to cast more votes for your favorite places.
How do I register after June 20?
- Ticket packets and maps will be available at your local municipal buildings, first come, first serve, beginning July 1st.
- Once you obtain your ticket packet, you must register it here. Unregistered votes will not be tallied.
