2022 SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTO CONTEST

After a fantastic turnout from last year’s contest, Marketing is excited to bring back the Social Media Photo Contest for 2022! 

Starting July 11, submit your work-related photos via this form to enter our Social Media Photo Contest! Every photo submitted counts as one entry into a random drawing to win one of ten $50 Visa gift cards.   

We’ve got nine photo categories to enter: Rental Equipment, Employee, PSD, Machine, Technology, Shop/Warehouse and Field. Marketing will select a “best of” photo from each category, and the winners will each receive a custom 28qt Cordova cooler customized with their photo of choice! 

Like last year, Marketing will also select one entry to win our grand prize: a DJI Mini II drone! There’s no limit to the number of photos you can submit. The winning photograph may already be on your phone! 

Not sure where to start? Check out last year’s winners below and our Facebook (Western States Cat Equipment Company) and Instagram (@westernstates.cat) for inspiration. Photos from last year’s contest have been used on social media, in Western States marketing materials, in calendars and more. Head to this blog post from December showcasing your photos in action!
