Dulles South Online Logo Contest!
(The Contest has ended, and we have a winner - to be announced soon!)
Help shape the Northern Virginia's fastest-growing area - Dulles South, the new Tyson's Corner,
and Gateway to Loudoun County!
Dulles South is a rapidly-growing, unincorporated collection of County and State properties, towns and villages,
planned communities and by-right residential and business properties located generally in the southeastern parts
of Loudoun County, the western parts of Fairfax County, and the northern parts of Prince William County,
including towns such as Aldie, South Riding, Brambleton, Chantilly, Stone Ridge, Broadlands,
Lenah's Run, and other nearby locations. This area is generally bounded by Rt. 15 to the west, Rt. 267/Dulles
Greenway to the north, Rt. 28 to the east, and Rt. 66 to the south.
Dulles South will shortly see the
addition of multiple large shopping centers and business parks, several new schools, overhaul of the major
road arteries, major upgrades to Dulles Airport, and in general a complete "blossoming" of the business and community!
Dulles South Online is hosting a local contest for the best depiction of the area in a clear, easy-to-read and
representative logo for the Dulles South Region, to be leveraged or promoted among all businesses and government
entities as a symbol of the area's incredible natural beauty, historical significance, religious diversity,
business and economic value, focus on schools and education, Internet presence, and overall reflection of
the educated, diverse and engaged family-centric local population.
What do I Win?
- No actual "prizes", as recognized by all you panting lawyers out there
- Online fame and notoriety into perpetuity (or at least until the Internet's cached archives disappear)
- Global recognition and promotion of the logo and its "story" (make it a good one!)
- Promotion of you, or your business or other defining interest, utilizing SEO/SEM Internet Marketing techniques on the Internet (completely at the discretion of DullesSouthonline.com and its domain owners - this is NOT provision of business services for free, but simply continuing recognition on a purely voluntary basis, from a news perspective, of the winner of this prize-free contest)
- Total online cred; dugg, delicious and flickr'd
- We might even use it on our site, alt-tagged and hyperlinked in proper SEO manner right to you!
- All kinds of other unmentionable collateral fame and possibly fortune (from others, not necessarily us, but perhaps - we'll be in touch)
