The event will start at The Corner Store in Historic Downtown.
Plant City will have its second-ever InstaMeet at 4 p.m. Friday, April 1.
Interested photographers can meet at The Corner Store in Historic Downtown, 121 E. Reynolds St.
An InstaMeet is a hang out where a group of photographers on Instagram shoot photos in a prearranged, specific area.
The Plant City Economic Development Corp. is hosting the InstaMeet in conjunction with Fryed Egg Productions and the popular Instagram account, @igers_tampa. Instagrammers from all over Florida are invited to Plant City to shoot images of everything that captures both the heart and potential of Plant City: from favorite spots in Historic Downtown to cafes and restaurants to storefronts of growing businesses.
“We want pictures of what Plant City’s all about,” President Jake Austin said. “But we would also like to tell the story of our investors.”
The EDC will provide attendees with a list of investors for potential photo opportunities, but photographers are encouraged to take photos outside of those limits. Besides storefronts and Historic Downtown, the EDC suggests taking photos of trucks, railways, construction and more.
Instagrammers will be rewarded with more than just likes on their photos. The EDC will award a $500 dollar prize to the person who takes the best overall shot and three additional prizes of $100 dollars. The deadline to post photos is Sunday, April 3.
