Celebrate Summer with Instagram

We recently started an Instagram account at Celebrations to give our readers who have the app on their phones backstage access to our kitchen and crafting corner. We've been posting great photos of recipes we are whipping up in the office before they go on site as well as great NYC finds whether it's a slew of colorful washi tape or a crate of vintage sugar bowls.

Instagram has also been a great way for us to connect with our readers and see what they are doing in their lives, which is why we wanted to launch a contest to celebrate a little something we like to call SUMMER!

What we're asking you to do is easy. Just show us what you are doing to celebrate summer! Don't think too much about it. Simply take a photo of how you are enjoying the warm weather. This could be friends & family, making homemade ice cream, crafting with the kids, outdoor activities or just a pretty picture of the sun setting.

How to enter:

Download the Instagram App on your iPhone or Android phone.

Upload a photo of what you are doing to celebrate summer.

In the description of your image, tag @Celebrations_com with the hashtag #CelebrateSummer to be entered for the chance to win one of four $50 American Express gift cards.

Don't forget to check out the competition here: #CelebrateSummer.

Winners will be randomly chosen the week of July 9th!
