Enter the #amlihome Instagram Contest

What's your favorite room in your apartment? Chances are you put a lot of work into making just right. Why not show it off?

This year's social media contest at AMLI could reward you handsomely for your efforts. Share a photo of your favorite space in your apartment on Instagram from Tuesday, Oct. 1 to Friday, Oct. 18 for a chance to win up to $1,000 in gift cards. Be sure to use #amlihome in the caption and describe a little about your space. What furniture and decor really bring your room together? Where did you get them? What inspired your room? Share the wealth with fellow AMLI residents and tag where you got your best finds.

Finalists will be re-posted to the @amliapts Instagram account up to three times per day for each day of the contest. If your photo has been re-posted, that means you're a finalist! You can enter as many times as you'd like, but can only be selected as a finalist once.

Here's how to enter:

• Share your photo on Instagram
• Use #amlihome in the caption
• Add your AMLI community as the location
• Describe your design inspiration, share style tips and tag where you got your favorite pieces
• We read the captions! Be sure to follow the above steps!

Follow @amliapts to find out if you’re a finalist and keep track of the competition!

You must be a current AMLI resident to enter. Be sure to indicate which AMLI community your photo is of or we won't be able to add you as a finalist. All photos are accepted so long as they are your own work. Only those selected as finalists are eligible to win. One grand prize winner will receive up to $1,000 in gift cards and nine regional winners will each receive $100 in gift cards. Winners will be announced by Friday, Oct. 25 and be contacted via Instagram to coordinate the prizes over email. Read the official rules by clicking here.

Good luck!
