Instagram comp!!!

Hello everyone,

To celebrate gloomy January and February we are encouraging our visitors to ‘seek out the beauty’ at Lime Cross Nursery. This competition won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, as it involves a little bit of technology! But for those of you who are fans of Instagram, we would love you to get involved. Take a photo using Instgram and submit it to win fabulous lunch for two at the Lime Cross Nursery Café, including drinks and cake!

About Instagram:

‘Instagram is an online photo-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take a picture, apply a digital filter to it, and share it on a variety of social networking services, including its own and other leading sites such as Facebook or Twitter. A distinctive feature is that it confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras’. (www.wikepedia.com)

How to enter:

• Take a photo here at Lime Cross Nursery using Instagram any time from now until the end of February.

• Post the photo under #LCNCOMP on our Instagram feed.

• We will then print out the photo and display it on our photo board .

• The BEST photo as judged by Jon Tate! Will then win the prize of lunch for two including drinks and cake!!!!
