Love your west to win

Maribyrnong residents are known for their love of the area and and the western suburbs as a whole, but now they’re being asked express that love in a new competition.

Maribyrnong council’s ‘Love Your West’ competition is now officially open, inviting locals to share their favourite things to see and do in the municipality for a chance to win fantastic prizes.

The competition is straightforward.

To enter, contestants just have to simply comment on one of council’s Love Your West competition reels and posts on social media or submit their entry via the Love Your West website, sharing their favourite westside highlights.

From parks and local eateries to markets and neighbourhood experiences, there is no shortage of potential answers for Maribyrnong locals to choose from and every answer counts as an entry.

Winners receive gift certificates ranging from $50 to $100 in value that have donated by local businesses and are redeemable at their establishments.

The competition is already underway with first-round winners drawn last week,

Anthony Spiteri, Sarah Macdonald, Matt Coad and Sandra Jones were the lucky locals to have their names drawn and received their gift certificates from deputy mayor Bernadette Thomas on Monday, September 15.

More entrants are wanted and anyone living in Maribyrnong can get involved.

For more information and to enter the competition, keep an eye on Maribyrnong council’s social media accounts or visit the Love Your West website: https://loveyourwest.com.au/
