Think Blue Franklin Contest

Dear Franklin residents,

Today we're announcing the launch of a #ThinkBlueFranklin hashtag and photo contest! Participating is easy! Review the contest categories and take a few pictures. Pick your best and tag the photos on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram with #ThinkBlueFranklin and @townoffranklinma (Instagram), @TOFranklinMA (Twitter), or @OfficialTownofFranklin (Facebook)! Twenty participants will be chosen at random to win $100 Amazon gift cards!

In this contest, residents of Franklin can win by sharing photos that fit the topics below: 

  • Storm Drains: We want you to go “Go Drain-Spotting” in your neighborhood or around the community. Take a picture of a storm drain and tag it on social media.
  • Walkin’ In the Rain: Put on your raincoat, galoshes, and grab the umbrella and take a stroll in the rain. Check out where the water in your neighborhood goes after a storm. Take a picture of you and your family out on the walk and tag it on social media.
  • Smart Yard Care: Taking your grass clippings to the local drop off-site? Following the instructions on your lawn fertilizer bag? Take a picture and tag it on social media so we can reward your smart yard choices!
  • Scoop the Poop: It’s always a good idea to pick up after your pet and toss the waste in the trash. Take your best scoop the poop picture and tag it on social media. 

The hashtag/photo contest runs from Monday, July 20th through Sunday, August 16th, and is open to Franklin residents only. There is no cost for residents to submit photos or win prizes.  Winners will be contacted by August 21st. 

Our #Think Blue Franklin campaign is about encouraging residents to do their part to make Franklin a cleaner and healthier place to live and work. To join in the fun, grab your phone, and snap pictures of you and/or your family doing these simple things to make Franklin’s land and waters cleaner!

Ready to get started? You may submit one entry per category (listed above) and each photo you post must include #ThinkBlueFranklin and @townoffranklinma (Instagram), @TOFranklinMA (Twitter), or @OfficialTownofFranklin MA (Facebook). You may post to either Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, whichever social media site you prefer.
