The #MarriottEdfest Instagram competition

August 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Are you taking pictures of any of the Edinburgh Festival action? If you are and you’re on Instagram there’s a way to try and win £150 in vouchers.

Marriott have a site collecting Instagrams tagged with #marriottedfest. It’s called The Edinburgh Festival: In a Single Shot.

I can see why Marriott would tap into the buzz. The hotel chain has a number of hotels in and around the city.

This is a blogger run competition with a panel of locals to pick the lucky winner of the vouchers. The judges are;

  • Alison at Edinburgh Spotlight
  • Charlotte at Toad and Feather
  • Jane and Katey at Edinburgh Etiquette
  • Juliet at Ever So Juliet

There are all great blogs and Edinburgh Spotlight’s Facebook page is especially popular with locals. I recommend them all.

It may be super easy to take loads of Instagrams during the Edinburgh Festival (especially on a shiny HTC One like mine) but I’ve friends and family involved with Marriott, their agencies and the people running the competition so I can’t win. I think might tag a few Instagrams, though, just to take part!
