Our friends at Brightest Young Things had a cool idea to run a photo contest for free soundbites tickets. Here’s how you can participate:
- Snap a great FOOD PORN photo with your phone at one of the participating restaurants – which shouldn’t be hard since they’re all places WE KNOW you love to eat at
- Post it on twitter
- use the hashtags #FOODPORN #SoundbitesDC and tweet @BYT, @DCCK, @930club and at the restaurant involved (we’ll leave it up to you to find out their twitter handle)
- and next Wednesday as BYT announces the next week’s contest, they’ll do a BEST OF FOOD PORN recap and notify the winner. EASY
- now get to eating. and snapping
