With a big holiday weekend coming up, we expect to see a lot of social media action from followers and fans! Especially action of the photo variety. Whether you strap on your professional quality camera, hold out your selfie stick or simply use your phone – we love to see all the photos our property owners and guests share online.

Once Labor Day passes and the glow of fall starts to take over the rolling Innsbrook hills, it will be time for our Annual Property Owner Photo Contest! Look back through all the photos you’ve taken this past season at Innsbrook – do you think you have a winner?

If you’re still trying to capture your photographic masterpiece, here are some photos you can try to get this holiday weekend!

We’ll begin accepting your submissions on Thursday, October 1. To enter at that time, go to the “Photo Contest” page on the Community Life section of our website.

We have four categories once again this year:

• The Great Outdoors
• Wildlife
• Community Events
• People, Family and Pets

Last year we received hundreds of spectacular submissions, which the staff had a difficult time narrowing down for the online voting!

Winners will be announced with their submissions shared in the Village Views, on the website and on our various social media accounts. You can look at all the submissions from past years in the albums on our Facebook page.

And the great news is – even if you don’t win in the Photo Contest, we still find plenty of ways to share your images! You may see your photo as the cover of our next Innsight, on the pages of our 2016 calendar of events or as our Photo of the Day on Facebook and Twitter.

Whether you’re boating, swimming, riding or just relaxing – have a fun, safe and wonderful Labor Day weekend as you enjoy Innsbrook, through the lens.
