There's gnome place like Camrose!

Purchase a gnome-themed selfie picture frame to be at your business for around $100. People shopping for the holidays will be encouraged to visit your business, take a picture with your gnome frame and share these pictures on social media for their chance to win the previously mentioned gift cards weekly with a grand prize draw on December 20 worth $1,000 or more. Purchasing this frame is not mandatory but highly recommended!

These frames are a perfect addition to your participation in this campaign if you have a storefront or attend holiday markets! If you don't have a storefront, you are welcome to have your frame hosted at the Camrose & District Chamber of Commerce.

You will be invoiced directly by our frame printers, but we will place the order
