“Thanks for the Memories”

Western Bonanza
Facebook Photo Contest

Have you shown livestock at Cal Poly's Western Bonanza? Was it last year? Was it perhaps 27 years ago? If so, we want your photos! Cal Poly's Western Bonanza Junior Livestock Show has existed since the birth of a Cal Poly student's senior project in 1985. Since the beginning of the show, times have changed, as well as the conformation of the livestock shown! The “Thanks for the Memories” Western Bonanza Facebook Photo Contest will help bring back the past of Western Bonanza, as well as fuel the future of this entirely student run jackpot show. This contest will begin on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 and conclude on Thursday, February 17, 2011. In order to keep the memories alive from Cal Poly's Western Bonanza, you will have the chance to share your memories in photos on Cal Poly's Western Bonanza Junior Livestock Show Facebook page. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Step 1: Become a fan of Cal Poly's Western Bonanza Junior Livestock Show on Facebook.
Step 2: Upload your photo to the Cal Poly's Western Bonanza Junior Livestock Show Facebook page showcasing how you, as a Western Bonanza exhibitor, are involved in the jackpot.
Step 3: Share with fellow Western Bonanza exhibitors in the contest and vote for your favorites! Below are the rules and guidelines for the contest! Most importantly, have fun and enjoy what Western Bonanza has to offer!
Rules/Guidelines:
1. This is a photo contest to promote the involvement of today's youth in the livestock industry. These photos will appear to all visitors of the Cal Poly's Western Bonanza Facebook fan page. All photos are subject to removal and disqualification if found inappropriate to the contest.

"Likes" of photos in the contest which are posted on Cal Poly's Western Bonanza wall will NOT be counted as votes.
