We built this site to share what we love about our city and to help you turn your New Orleans knowledge into a little extra money. Whether you grew up here, moved here, or just know where the real good spots are, your voice helps visitors experience the New Orleans we know and love.
How the Raffle Works
We’re gathering the best of New Orleans in one place for visitors to explore, and we need your help to show off the fun.
Here’s all you need to do:
1. Share a NOLA memory—new or old.
A restaurant, club, park, museum… or catching a Saints or Pelicans game. Any moment that shows off the Big Easy works.
It does NOT have to be something you did today. Old photos, old posts, old stories—bring them on.
2. Make or reuse a social media post.
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok—whatever platform you like.
If it’s an old memory you’re recycling, that’s perfectly fine.
3. Come back here and submit it.
Here on WelcomeToNOLA.com, search for the place you visited and paste your Memory post into that place’s page using the “Submit Your Memory” form. It’s right below the “Order an Uber” button on every place listed on our site.
If we didn’t list your spot yet, use the “Suggest a Place” form at the top of any page.
Your Entry
Each memory you share = one entry into our December raffle.
One minute + one memory = one shot at $100.
Post as many memories as you want—each one counts as its own entry.
We’ll draw the winner two weeks from today: December 15, 2025.
After you’ve shared a memory, drop a comment on Facebook so we have your name and can match it to your entries.
Good luck!
