INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Launched on Oct. 12, the Moonshot Moment Outreach Team is managing a social media campaign inviting people to visit the Moonshot Museum Masterpieces located at the Gifford Youth Achievement Center and in the 13 elementary schools in Indian River County.
The idea is to get as many people as possible to visit and view one or more of the Moonshot Masterpieces with a purpose of raising awareness for the Moonshot Moment. Participants enter the contest by posting a selfie or video to Facebook or tweeting one out using Twitter, and the intended outcome is a measurable audience who have been engaged in and energized by this activity.
Since many of the masterpieces are located behind the school walls and fences, the campaign is geared for school families, such as parents visiting the school or doing a drop-off or pick up.
The group will accept entries from any community member at any masterpiece.
The winner is determined by the most Facebook “likes” or Twitter “favorites.”
The contest participant should visit one of the Moonshot Masterpieces, and then upload a selfie or video to either Facebook.com/moonshotmoment or to Twitter.com/moonshotmoment. They must include their school and teacher’s name, as well as the hashtag #moonshotmoment, to be eligible to win.
On Nov. 10, the team will tally up the video or photo that has the most “likes/favorites” and that person will win a prize package that includes a mini iPad, a free one-year admission to the Vero Beach Museum of Art, and a set of books that match the masterpiece activities. The teacher tied to that winner will receive a free pizza and ice cream party for his or her class.
