Get Your Photos Featured on Perry Hall Patch Facebook Page
We know there are lots of shutterbugs out there in Perry Hall. Here's how to share your best shots of Perry Hall with your neighbors.
We like the photo from Gunpowder Falls State Park we currently have featured on the Perry Hall Patch Facebook page. We really do.
But, honestly, it's time to move on. It's time to feature other photos depicting our great community.
Here's where you come in. We want to regularly update our Facebook photo with submissions from you. If we get enough submissions, we'll update the photo every week. And if we pick your shot, we'll also feature it on our home page.
You can upload your photos to be considered the following ways (please include a short description of what you've photgraphed):

Awesome. Because people love providing free content for your for-profit business. YAY Arianna Huffington!

This is for our Facebook page. So technically, you're helping Mark Zuckerberg. But really, this is meant as a way of encouraging community engagement—one neighbor to another. We're not asking anyone to break their back shooting, editing, toning or cropping a masterpiece photograph. We want to see something emblematic of Perry Hall, something that makes people feel pride to live here. Do you post and share photos on Facebook for your friends and family to see? How would this be different? - Nick

So you give people a place to share their photos and in return, they give you website traffic. Novel idea in 2013. You are a news organization. Want community engagement? Get out there and report. Patch has tried to change its skin every three months since the beginning. You want people to blog for free, come here for coupons, post photos to your facebook page, read the mommy blogs... But patch has never had the courage to stand on its own original idea -- good, local reporting. Do that well and the rest would follow. The reason the model is not working at scale on a national level is the company has been too quick to toss one scheme after another at readers. And the worst, most cynical move was the Huffington b/s that users will hand you free content, all day. That worked for her in an anamoulous environment -- a blink of an eye in, like, 2007.
