NCASLA Instagram Takeover

As part of World Landscape Architecture Month, NCASLA is organizing a month-long “Instagram Takeover” to feature the work of our state’s firms! The takeover will be held from April 1 - April 30, 2019. Members will have the opportunity to “take over” the NCASLA Instagram account for at least one day, showcasing their work through posts of their choosing. The takeover will be similar to the Instagram takeover that National ASLA has organized in the past.

This will help NCASLA improve our social media content, increase our follower base, and improve awareness about the exciting work that our members are doing in NC and beyond! If you would like to participate, please contact us at manager@ncasla.org by March 11, 2019.

 

Rules are as follows:

  • You may post up to 7 posts per day, and an unlimited amount of Instagram stories. Feel free to include multiple images or videos in each post. NCASLA may share your Instagram posts to Facebook and Twitter.

  • Include the hashtags #WLAM2019 #LandscapeArchitecture and #NCASLA

  • Post only landscape architecture related content.

  • Please tag your business account and the accounts of those you have collaborated with, if applicable. We highly encourage you to tag all the allied professionals you have worked with on your project such as, but not limited to, planners, engineers, surveyors, soil scientist, ecologists, general contractors, landscape contractors and your clients!

  • Be sure to provide image credit where applicable.  

  • By participating in NCASLA’s Instagram Takeover, your firm gives NCASLA permission to use posted images for other NCASLA initiatives (including, but not limited to, Advocacy Day publications).
