iBNL

July 2011 Assignments

As the saying goes, an image describes a thousand words…
If you were to show the world what Lebanon is in ‘One Single Image’ what would it be. Get your cameras out and go shop around for that perfect image that will have every one come to Lebanon this summer…

 

Where ever you may be… capture your favorite artist or performer on stage with your camera, show us true talent through your images or videos – they could be any one, whether big or small, in any club, pub restaurant in Lebanon – or of course it could be of the two big names mentioned above. Waiting for your submissions.

 

After the NOKIA N8 winner for the first iBNL assignment, it is your chance to be the second winner. May prize to be one of the dream smart phones.

What is iBNL?

iBNL, a new initiative set by BeirutNightLife.com giving you the chance to take part in the nightlife, travel and tourism industry in Lebanon. You can be the person behind the lens this time. Your voice, together with other iBNL’ers, can help shape what BeirutNightLife.com covers and how.

At BeirutNightLife.com we believe that taking different views of a certain subject gives us a deeper understanding, wider coverage, and setting the best standards for the B-City and Lebanon all around the World. iBNL is your tool to build, share, and publish what is happening in nightlife, travel & tourism.

The stories here are not edited fact-checked or screened before they post. BeirutNightLife.com’s producers will check out some of the most compelling, important and urgent iBNLs and, once they’re cleared for BeirutNightLife.com, we will make them a part of BeirutNightLife.com’s news coverage.

Together, BeirutNightLife.com and iBNL can draw a complete portrait of Lebanon’s travel & Tourism.

So hop onboard, tell your story and see how it connects with someone on the other side of the world.
