People visit local businesses in the Camrose region, take a photo with a gnome, and enter to win prizes of up to $1,000 in gift cards.
How to participate
Donate a minimum $50 gift card from your business (or another local business) in $50 increments.

All businesses will be included in social media (facebook) features from the official Tourism Camrose page.
Increase your reach by sending us a 30-50 second video featuring your business and products you want to highlight!
Video
The first 5 businesses that donate $400 or more in gift cards are eligible to be featured in the official Choose Camrose Region video for 2024
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
