Caption Contest: Win a Pair of Costa Del Mar Sunglasses!
By David DiBenedetto
Okay, only a few more days until the weekend. For those of you not in the woods or the field, here’s a little caption contest to help you bide the time until you’re outdoors again. The photo in need of your creative touch was taken recently in Charleston Harbor.
Thanks to the very fine folks at Costa Del Mar we have a killer prize to give to the winner—a pair of polarized Jose glasses worth a whopping $179. The glasses sport Costas new 580P lens and are made to take a world of abuse. They also look pretty cool (see below).
Most of you know the rules by now, but here’s the scoop for the newcomers: Type your caption in the comments section below, and enter as often as your creative juices will allow. Long, short, or in between but remember that funny always wins. (To see the last caption contest winner and runner ups click here. As always, keep the entries PG-13 as we have plenty of young eyes out there.
I’ll announce the winner on October 1. That’s it. Have fun.
