What you need to do

The NCG Selfie Race for Valentine’s Day is exactly what it says – a Selfie Race. Participants need to take a Selfie in designated Selfie Race Stations.

There are 17 Selfie Race Stations. You must complete the race by taking a selfie in every Selfie Race Station. The order doesn’t matter so you have to plan your route well to minimize travel. You can take a Selfie in Station 6 then Station 1 then Station 10. Follow whichever order is most convenient to you.  Just make sure you complete all 17 stations.

You can’t take a selfie just anywhere. Your selfie must be taken at the Selfie Race Station exactly depicted in the main photographs (the big, featured photo – the first photo) shown in the Selfie Race Stations list below ; the other photos supplementing the main photo are just clues that will help tell you in which establishment you’ll find the actual Selfie Race Station.

Note that the Selfie Race Stations in the list below are un-named. That’s the challenge. You’ll need to identify the establishment where the Selfie Race Station can be found before you can take a selfie at any Selfie Race Station.

Of course, you already know the 17 Naga City businesses participating in the NCG Selfie Race for Valentine’s Day. So all you need to do, really, is to match the Selfie Race Stations to the 17 participating establishments. Easy!

Contest mechanics

1. No registration required. Once you decide to participate, find a teammate and go for gold!
2. In your Facebook account, create a photo album. Name it “NCG Selfie Race”. In its description, tag Naga City Guide and include event hash tags: #NCGSelfieRace #ValentinesDay.

1. Plan your route. Identify every Selfie Race Station – that is, match each Selfie Race Station to its corresponding establishment.
2. Start the race.
3. Go to any one of the 17 establishments – whichever you wish to visit first.
4. Find the designated Selfie Station in that establishment, pose with your buddy at that Selfie Station (the two of you MUST be in the photo) then upload that photo (just one photo  per Selfie Race Station, please) to the “NCG Selfie Race” album. With every photo upload, do the following (in the description field,):
   • write the name of the Selfie Race Station (is it Selfie Race Station 1, Selfie Race Station 2, etc),
   • write & tag the name of  the establishment where that Selfie Race Station can be found,
   • write and tag Naga City Guide,
   • and add the hash tags: #NCGSelfieRace #ValentinesDay.

   
   Make sure every photo is set to public!

5. Repeat step 6  for the remaining 16 establishments in your list. Take your time – or not. If you want to win, you probably have to race.
6. Make sure to “like” the fanpage of each of the 17 establishments you are tagging.: )
7. After you’ve completed all 17 Selfie Race Stations, visit this Naga City Guide post: https://www.facebook.com/nagacityguide/posts/1013642162029450, then add a comment underneath to tell us that you’ve completed the race and to point us to your NCG Selfie Race photo album. Only those who leave a comment at the right place (the post indicated in the  link above) to inform us of race completion will be considered in the running to win a GC.
