What’s Love Got to do with It? Celebrate the Beauty of Your City in AR’s February 2023 Challenge

 

Do you have a deep love for your city? Do you take pride in its rich history, stunning architecture, bustling streets and diverse culture? Then it's time to showcase your passion for your city, town or neighborhood by participating in February’s City Love Challenge, “What I Love About My City”.

 

In this month’s challenge, you are invited to share your favorite things about your city - from its hidden gems to its iconic landmarks, favorite restaurants, historic communities - or whatever made you fall in love with where you live. After all, it is the LOVE month!

 

It's time to show off the city, town or neighborhood you love and tell others why they should visit. Whether you're a lifelong resident or a recent transplant, we want to hear what makes your city special to you.

 

To participate, all you have to do is write a story of 500 words or more, include a video or snap a picture (or pictures) that highlight what you love about your area. You can be as creative as you like, and you're encouraged to think outside the box and show your city in a new light.


Whether you're showcasing the city's best food spots, hidden parks, or bustling nightlife, we want to see what sets your area apart from the rest.

Whether you're from a bustling metropolis or a small town, we want to hear what makes your city unique. This is your chance to show the world what your city has to offer and why it's one of the best places to live.

 

Tired of writing the same blog posts about your area, gather your friends and family and start exploring your city again - or should we say, fall in love all over again with your area! Enjoy discovering all over again, what you love about your area; share what you love about being part of your community.


The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, February 28, midnight PST.

 

Get ready to share your love for your city and let's celebrate the beauty of our hometowns together! Brian England and I will be hosting this month’s City Love Challenge! We can’t wait to learn about your area.

 

 

The rules for this month’s challenge:

  • Due by 2/28 at midnight PST
  • Share what you love about your city (or town or neighborhood/community)
  • 500+ words
  • Must include 1 photo or video
  • Must be ORIGINAL work (your work)
  • A link must be posted in the comments section below.

 

Do all of the above & we’ll show you the love by giving you 1,500 points for your submission! Happy LOVE month!

 

And, now, I’ll leave you with this ear worm from Tina Turner - a blast from the past but, you may want to follow Tina’s choreographer’s lead and re-explore YOUR city! Enjoy…

Debe Maxwell, CRS and Brian England, thank you for hosting this challenge, and thanks to Michael Jacobs for pointing us in this direction. We started a series of Community Highlights earlier this month, and while we're only 2 deep, we have several more planned. Here's our first one, for Newtown Square, PA, a town we've had the pleasure of calling home since 2007! Community Highlight: Newtown Square, PA. We hope you enjoy the read, and if you're ever in the Philly suburbs, be sure to look us up!

I love visiting Flagstaff Jacki Tait, CLHMS, especially during the summer months when it is really hot in my neck of the woods, haha.  I look forward to reading what you love about it and perhaps we could get together for coffee the next time I am up in your neck of the woods.
