Renton River Days’ popular competition, “Duck Hunt 5: Selfie Adventure” is on now.
The contest started June 18 and winners will be announced Aug. 1.
“It’s a photo scavenger hunt and we’ll post clues and photos of where the ducks have been as they shake, waddle and roll through Renton,” said Carol Janssen, festival chairperson.
Janssen is also the marketing director of First Savings Bank Northwest, which is the event sponsor.
Unlike previous years, there are no physical, decorated ducks at area locations.
Instead, participants must go to the Renton River Days Facebook page, “like” the page and register with the app by clicking on “win” for the contest form.
When participants recognize the clues posted on the Facebook page, they are to go to that location and take a “selfie” with a duck of their own creation. It can be a drawing, a rubber duck from your tub, a duck costume, or any other form of “ducky” you want to bring.
Photos are then to be posted on the River Days Facebook page with the tag #RRD2014.
There will be a total of 10 clues, posted twice per week.
“It is interactive, gets people involved going out to places in the community,” said Janssen. “It builds excitement leading up to our festival.”
Once participants get all of the clues and post to Facebook, they are entered to win in a drawing for the top four prizes: an Apple iPad Air, a Microsoft XBOX, a 32” HDTV or an Apple iPod Nano.
There will be about two clues a week leading up until Aug. 1. There is no registration fee for the contest, but participants must be willing to follow social media.
