There are always plenty reasons to visit the Armadale City Centre during the festive season and in the spirit of giving, The Dale does Xmas is giving away a $2500 shopping spree to one lucky shopper who best captures their City Xmas experience.
Following two successful ‘The Dale’ promotions, The Dale does Xmas is an exciting new retail campaign to reward residents who visit the Armadale City Centre during the summer season.
Take advantage of the City’s calendar of Xmas activities and events, snap plenty of photos, and post your best one online to be in the running for the major prize or a handful of ‘Day Out in Armadale’ spot prizes that include double passes to the cinema, free admission to the Armadale Aquatic Centre, and lunch and smoothie vouchers.
To enter, take a photo of yourself, others (make sure they’re ok with it), or a landscape in the city centre, upload it to Instagram or the City of Armadale Facebook page and hashtag #TheDale for the chance to win.
The winners will be chosen for the photo that shows creativity and best captures the Xmas shopping experience in the City Centre.
Maybe it’s during a visit to Santa with the family, enjoying one of the City’s Music in the Mall sessions on Fridays, or having a chat with our friendly Community Liaison Officers.
Whatever it is, we want to see your snaps of the City Centre!
You can see ‘#TheDale does Xmas’ events below, on the City’s Facebook page, and in local newspapers from December through to end of January. Or for all upcoming City events see the events section of the City’s website.
Terms and Conditions apply.
