About the contest

The I HEART Daybreak Video Contest not only celebrates everyday life in our community but also encourages residents to share their unique perspectives. Because of that, whether you showcase a favorite walk, highlight a backyard campout, or feature a quick ride to SoDa Row, your story becomes part of something bigger. In addition, each submission helps weave together a vivid picture of what it truly means to call Daybreak home. Ultimately, by combining these personal moments, we create a collective portrait of our community.

First, every resident who submits a video receives a $10 gift card* to support SoDa Row’s beloved eateries or our tasty Info Center café, Biscotts. Next, the top 10 submissions that best capture the Daybreak spirit each earn a $100 gift card. Then, we’ll post those finalists on the Daybreak Facebook page for voting. Finally, the overall people’s choice favorite wins a $500 gift card. Now that’s a prize!

So, let’s get out there and film what we love most about Daybreak. Grab your phone. Or your dad’s camcorder. Or, yes, one of those GoPro thingies. Then hit REC. After that, email your video to WhatILoveAtDaybreak@Gmail.com.
