Hello wonderful Latino Outdoors community of trailblazers! In celebration of Latino Conservation Week we are doing an REI gift card giveaway! We have TWO $100 REI gift cards to give away! This sweepstakes is a way to recognize you, our fantastic online community! We also want you to show us how you love and connect with the outdoors as well as sharing why you care about these special places.  We want you, your friends, familia, peers, and colleagues to go outdoors this week and show us how you enjoy the outdoors and why these places matter to you.

Here’s what to do:

• Go outdoors, take photos, and share them with us. Take selfies, landscape shots, action shots, stewardship, restoration projects, and any which way in which you enjoy, celebrate, and care about the outdoors.
• Include a caption/statement. Tell us where you are, and why you love and want to celebrate your trail, park, river, public land, etc. Also tell us why it’s important to see more of our communities in the outdoors.
• Use the hashtags. This sweepstakes will run on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. For all three platforms you need to use these four hashtags: #LatinoConservationWeek #LatinoOutdoors #VamosOutdoors #REI. You can use any additional hashtags but we’ll be looking for at least all four of these.
• Tag your friends! Tag who you hike with, who you’d like to join you a bike ride, your favorite outdoor orgs or companies that help you get outdoors, and anyone else you want to share the joy of the outdoors with!

 

Additional platform info: If you use Instagram, you can tag us with our handle @LatinoOutdoors as well as using the hashtags. If you use Twitter, remember the character limit and tag us @LatinoOutdoors to ensure we’re notified. If you use Facebook, tag us to our Facebook page and you can share your post to our timeline.
