ORTHODONTISTS ANNOUNCE 3rd ANNUAL “YOUR SMILE IS A NATIONAL TREASURE” PHOTO CONTEST

 Grand Prize Is An iPad Mini

Nobody needs to be reminded to take their smile on vacation.  

But if you want to win the 3rd Annual ARCH Orthodontics ‘Your Smile Is A National Treasure’ Photo Contest, you should also remember to take along your ARCH t-shirt and a camera.

The contest is open to all patients of any age. Last year, over 40 people entered. This year’s deadline is September 7, 2014.

(Great teeth -- 2012 Grand Prize winner was ARCH patient William Sullivan who visited Six Flags Adventure Park in New Jersey. He earned an iPad for this photo taken by his mom.)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

To enter, a patient must submit a photo in which they’re wearing their ARCH t-shirt while visiting a historic landmark or favorite vacation spot. Entries should be accompanied by a brief caption identifying key information: who, what, where and when. Electronic photo entries (JPG or PDF) and brief descriptions and IDs should be sent to ARCHOrthodonticscontests@gmail.com. All photos are being posted on the ARCH Orthodontics website (www.archorthodontics.com) and on the ARCH and Facebook websites. The Grand Prize Winner will receive an iPad Mini.  

(Last year Liam Polles toured Washington in his ARCH shirt, carrying a toothbrush!)

Additional info is available at ARCH’s Facebook page. Entrants can increase chances of winning by asking their friends and family to vote online for their photo. Dr. Robert Chavez and Dr. Andrew Chase note that more credit is given to entries that illustrate ARCH’s philosophy: That life is full of things to smile about, and that Orthodontic treatment is an investment in that smile which will reap benefits for a lifetime.
