The SC State Fair is collecting old memories from past Fairs for their 150th anniversary, and to help them celebrate, we’re hosting a COLAtoday photo contest for the best SC State Fair throwback pic this month.

📸 How to enter: Today through next Friday, March 15, submit your favorite photo memory from a trip to the SC State Fair – anything from an old, black + white photo of the Fair in the 1950s (or earlier) to a killer Instagram from last year – to hello@colatoday.com.*

✅ How it’ll work: We’ll narrow down our 4 favorite entries and have you, our readers, vote on the top photo memory via our newsletter on Friday, March 22. Voting will close Friday, March 29, and we’ll announce the winner Monday, April 1.

🎉 Prize: The submitter of the winning photo will get an awesome prize pack including: 4-Pack of admission tickets; two ride vouchers; $20 Fair food voucher (that’s a lot of fried Oreos) + swag bag full of SC State Fair 150th Anniversary goodies.
