Support the Community, Celebrate Local, Grow Your Business.
We’re inviting Augusta’s most-loved locally owned businesses—like yours—to help us launch BOSLA 2025 (Best of Shop Local Augusta) with a fun, high-visibility giveaway campaign rooted in community spirit and local pride.
This isn’t your average giveaway, it’s an interactive trivia experience that engages locals, promotes your business, and highlights everything that makes Augusta great!
Giveaway Vendor Information
What is the SLA Trivia Giveaway?
We’re putting a twist on plain old giveaways by teaming up with Augusta’s locally famous trivia hosts—the ones you see running game nights at your favorite breweries, restaurants, and bars to make this campaign truly community-centered.
Each day from July 21–25, we’ll post a different trivia host asking 3 – 5 questions in short video clips.
These questions will cover topics like:
- Augusta history and notable events
- Local landmarks and hidden gems
- Arts, culture, and food
- Beloved small businesses (like yours!)
Participants will:
- Watch the trivia video
- Answer the 3 questions
- Enter their email to be included in the daily prize drawing
- Complete tasks to earn extra entries in the drawing, such as Like a Facebook Page or Share the Contest Link
Participants from that day’s entries will be drawn at random the next morning for a Daily Prize (see below).
All participants are also automatically entered into the Grand Prize and Bonus Prize drawings at the end of the week (July 26).
