It's finally summer so let the fun begin! The 2013 edition of “You’re So SoWal If…” contest begins! We are ready for all you SoWal beach lovers, sun worshippers, and bar hoppers to tell us what it means to you to be "So SoWal".
There are so many things that make SoWal special. Just complete the thought, “You’re so SoWal if…”
Post your creative answers below or email directly to us. Photos representing the essence of South Walton Life are also welcome.
Check SoWal.com, and SoWal Facebook and Twitter often to see some of the best submissions during the contest. Finalists and winners will be published on our site at the end of the season. Commemorative posters by artist Stacy Vereen are available.
We've lined up another stellar panel of judges this year: Rebecca Sullivan Balkcom - Bountiful Creative
Kerri Price - doGooD Marketing
Martin Ireland - General Manager, Grayton Bar and Grill
Darcy J. Pentel - SoWal Native and Proprietor of Sirens at the Beach
David DeGregorio - Director of the Central Idea Agency
& of course - the SoWal Staff!
Here are a few favorite entries from last year:
You're So SoWal If... ... you pack your cooler better than your luggage.
... SoWal is your Hotel California - you can check out but you can never leave.
… your children think dressing up means having to put on a pair of shoes, and your dogs go to work with you.
… you've ever danced on top of the bar at the Red Bar in your bathing suit at midnight.
… you take offense whenever someone accuses you of "living in Destin".
... you can't see out your back window because of all the beach permits.
