Spring has sprung! It’s time to share your favorite photos of Bellevue for a chance to win.

Settled between the Cascade Mountains and Lake Washington, it’s no secret that our fair city of Bellevue was named after its “beautiful views.” In honor of the spring season, we’re launching a contest to see who can capture the city’s most beautiful view, or “BelleView.” The winner will receive a weekend getaway that showcases our scenic vistas, along with a healthy dose of wining and dining, of course.

Here’s how it works:

• Snap a shot of your favorite “BelleView.” This can be anything you deem fit, as long as it was taken within Bellevue city limits, or depicts a view of the city taken from outside city limits.
• If you’re on Instagram, follow @VisitBellevueWa and upload your photo. Make sure to tag it with #MyBelleView and a description or caption.
• Also email your entry to contest@visitbellevuewashington.com with caption and your full contact information including your full name, phone number and email address.
• If you’re not on Instagram, you can just email it to us as instructed above and we will upload for you.
• You are allowed to enter as many times as you like! Feel free to tag us (@VisitBellevueWa) and use other Bellevue tags like #visitbellevuewa, #bellevue, #bellevuewa, #bellevuewashington, #hyattregencybellevue, #newcastlegolfcourse, #bellevuepark, #bellevuesquare, #bellevueskyline, and #ilovebellevue.
• The winning image will be announced May 16, and we’ll also showcase entries throughout the contest.

Here’s what you’ll win:

• An overnight stay at The Hyatt Regency Bellevue on a mutually agreeable date in the month of May or June 2013; lounge in a deluxe guestroom overlooking the city.
• Dinner for two at The Calcutta Grill at Newcastle Golf Course. Upon arrival, take in the stunning, panoramic views of Lake Washington, Mt. Rainier, the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, and the Seattle skyline before dining on Pacific Northwest fare with wines to match.
• The winning photo and featured photographer will be showcased on the Visit Bellevue Washington blog and our social media outlets.

**NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
