Upload Your Beach Pictures, Win Prizes

Many people take some time over the summer, especially in August, to vacation at the beach. We want to see your photos.

Whether it’s a lovely sunset over the water, a child playing the surf, whatever best represents the beach to you--upload it to this story and share it with your neighbors.

Tell us the beach where the photo was taken and if there’s anyone in the picture, we’d love to know their names. We also want to know in the caption what town you’re from and any other information you think we should know.

This is part of Patch’s summer Picture of the Week series, where we’re asking you for your best pictures on a certain topic each week. We’re enjoying seeing what pictures you have to share and look forward to more. We’ve added a little incentive. The winning submission will get a Patch prize pack, which includes a very soft Patch Tshirt, a baseball cap and maybe some other Patch stuff, but more importantly, you’ll get bragging rights.

We’ll be taking photo submissions each week from 4 a.m. Monday through noon Friday. Voting will begin at 4 a.m. Saturday and end at 9 a.m. Monday, so make sure to check back over the weekend to vote for your favorite picture. You must be 18 years or older to participate in this contest. You can find the rules to the contest by clicking in the area where the images are on the PDF.

To upload your photo, just click on the "Upload Photos and Videos" button. If you have more questions,.
