Daytona Beach International Airport Launches the Wish You Were Here Photo Contest in Response to Popular Postcard Program

Businesscafe - Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) has launched the “Wish You Were Here” photo contest that starts Thursday, July 7, where participants are entered to win a grand prize of a unique vacation experience that includes two airline tickets to the world-famous Daytona Beach and a weekend stay at the Max Beach Resort.

All participants need to do is upload a postcard-worthy image of Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach or West Volusia on the Wish You Were Here Postcard Contest website, or through Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #FlyDABSummer.


Winners of the contest will also have their photos featured on complimentary postcards offered to those passengers traveling in and out of the airport.

Earlier this year, DAB brought back the nostalgia of sending postcards during and after a memorable trip in the Daytona Beach area.


Complimentary postcards depicting popular destinations and images from all corners of Volusia County including DeLand, New Smyrna Beach, Ormond Beach, and Daytona Beach are available at the Junction Daytona Beach bar/restaurants and the information stations in the airport.


In the concourse, there is a postcard box where passengers can drop their cards to be later stamped and mailed out by the airport’s Customer Experience team.

The popularity of this program inspired DAB to get residents and visitors involved in the photos featured on the postcards used for the program.

“It’s no secret that technology is a huge part of everyone’s life from text messaging and emails, to social media and video calls,” said Joanne Magley, airport manager of air service, marketing and customer experience at the Daytona Beach International Airport.


“This is why we were pleasantly surprised at the popularity of our postcard program in the airport.


The positive response ultimately gave us the idea to merge technology with nostalgia and get our travelers involved in submitting photos to be used on the postcards.”

The Wish You Were Here Postcard Contest begins Thursday, July 7 and ends Thursday, Aug. 19, with voting continuing until Friday, Sept. 2.


The four winners will be announced Tuesday, Sept. 6.


Participants can enter to win once per day and can also promote their photo submissions through social media to receive votes.


The four winners will have their photo submissions featured on postcards used in DAB with the grand prize winner receiving a weekend stay at the Max Beach Resort in Daytona Beach.
