Dear Diary,
Welcome to Atlanta (where the playas play)! I decided to make this post because I constantly dream of the day Atlanta gets a 3D sign (and i’m not talking about midtown’s). We’re all pretty familiar with 3D signs around the world (I AMSTERDAM is probably the most popular, but there’s also signs that travelers love: I love Bali, I love Cancun, Aruba etc.) You get the point right? How lit would Atlanta be if we had a 3D sign that says “I love Atlanta” or even “FILA”? Keishaaaaa, sis we need a favor !!!!! Now, I must say Atlanta LOVES Atlanta! There’s literally Atlanta murals everywhere so it shouldn’t be hard to find as soon as you visit the city.
I found a concept on Instagram once and it was the tag #whatsinyourbackyard. Basically the idea centralizes around the fact that we are so eager to travel far away, that most people aren’t even aware of what’s in their own backyard. With that being said, I have decided to start a #STAMPEDATLANTACHALLENGE. I spent some time around Atlanta and I have found quite a few murals and art concepts that make Atlanta Insta-worthy, and I would love for you to do the same! I’m here to tell you, it’s okay to be tourist at home and try something new. After all, we have millions of people that visit Atlanta so lets show it off together!
How to enter the challenge:
- Must take a photo at one of the following locations, use the hashtag #stampedatlanta and tag me @stampeddiary (page must be public otherwise I can’t see it)
Each photo is considered one entry & multiple entries are allowed! Any photos posted before today will not qualify -sorry
Because they support the movement, please follow @avaite @wristsbywilkes @queenofmassageatl and show them some love!.
One winner will be announced on June 5th via a random draw on IG live.
What you’ll win:
- A hat from Aviate representing our Airport code “ATL” (of course it’s red to support our sports teams)
- A hand crafted bracelet from @wristsbywilkes. When we travel abroad, she spends hoursssssssssss choosing the perfect beads for her clients, so I hope you will love it as much as she does.
- $20 off a massage from the one and only @QueenOfMassageAtl. Trust me, she’s the best and had me sleep on her table lol. ALSO another friend of mine that works in the sky club has added on a FREE massage.
Sounds good right! Grab your favorite photographer and lets represent!
