For its 20th Anniversary year, Dining Out For Life* is launching a social media contest that brings together two things people love: good food and free cash.

On Tuesday, March 25, one lucky, social-media savvy diner will win $500 just for posting a food pic with the hashtag #DOFL20. Secondary prizes include Official Team Canada hockey gear, restaurant gift certificates and limited-edition, 20th Anniversary Dining Out For Life 2014 wine glasses.

We don’t have the hard statistics on this, but at any given moment, upwards of 70% of social media is food pics. You’re going to do it anyway, so why not get something for your trouble?

Entering is simple:

• Dine at a Participating Restaurant on Tuesday, March 25. (Find the list of Participating Restaurants at www.diningoutforlife.ca)
• Snap a picture of your dish or dishes and post it to Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram
• Tag your restaurant and @VanDOFL (works on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram)
• Add the hashtag #DOFL20

It really is that easy! Each social media platform gives you yet another chance to win. When was the last time someone wanted you to post food porn, much less offered you a prize for doing it?

*WHAT IS DINING OUT FOR LIFE?

Celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2014, Dining Out For Life (DOFL) is BC’s largest restaurant fundraiser. Every year, restaurants from Whistler to the Fraser Valley come together and donate 25% of that day’s food sales to support men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in our communities. Over the last 19 years, DOFL has raised $3 Million+ throughout the Lower Mainland. For more information, visit www.diningoutforlife.ca.
