Whistler winter signature contest offers five themed prize packages and ultimate grand prize

Whistler, B.C. – Six sensational winter-themed prize packages are up for grabs in Tourism Whistler’s signature contest, launched this week to coincide with the #WhistlerUnfiltered winter marketing campaign.

#WhistlerUnfiltered is an online anthology of Instagram images of Whistler where people have been asked to use the #WhistlerUnfiltered hashtag on their Instagram images, which could then be featured on the#WhistlerUnfiltered microsite and in additional marketing materials. The collection of unofficial, uncensored, candid snapshots with the themes of: Anticipation, Rooftop of the World, Dropping In, Snow Play and Boots Off are featured on the #WhistlerUnfiltered website with some photos included in the opening and closing signature campaign videos as well as five shorter videos, launched monthly throughout the campaign in October, November, December, January and February. Each week, new images from the collection will be sourced and featured on the campaign microsite: www.whistler.com/unfiltered with a top-three selection most prominent on the page.
