As we draw closer to the sporting moment of 2014, the Giro d’Italia, which takes place on May 9 to 11, the Northern Ireland Tourist Board is asking everyone in Northern Ireland to take a fun #GiroSelfie and upload it to their Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages.
Marie Therese O’Neill from NITB, explained: “As the excitement builds across the country we are asking that everyone joins in by snapping a fun #GiroSelfie.
“The #GiroSelfie can be anything related to bicycles or the Giro – for instance it might be you and your friends on your bikes, a picture that features the Giro mascot, Freddie Forte, a snap taken outside a specially painted or decorated business that has gone pink, or even a picture taken at one of the famous landmarks that line the Giro route.
“We want people to celebrate with us and create their own special Giro moment – the more creative and innovative the idea, the better! The best five pictures will win an exclusive pink Giro jersey.”
To take part, share your Giro themed photo and include #GiroSelfie when posting on your Twitter or Instagram, or share on the Discover Northern Ireland Facebook wall to be in with a chance to win one of five exclusive Giro pink cycling jerseys.
To see your #Giroselfie photos visit the Giro hub, where you can read the latest news, social updates and event information at discovernnorthernireland.com/GiroHub or on LoveBelfat Facebook page : www.facebook.com/lovebelfastcity
