42We had a blast reading your answers last summer and we're asking all SoWal beach lovers to send us more of your good stuff by completing the thought, "You're So SoWal If . . . "
We want to hear from you about what it means to be addicted to South Walton Beaches. What's unique? What's quirky? What's beautiful? What's funny? What's that smell? (the seabreeze of course!)
Send us your creative answers using the form below or email directly to us. Deadline for all submissions is August 15, 2012. Photos representing the essence of South Walton Life are also mucho welcome.
Check SoWal.com, and SoWal Facebook and Twitter often to see some of the best submissions during the contest. Finalists and winners will be published on the site at the end of the season. Commemorative posters and artwork will be available.
Last summer's contest got a flood of responses, with hundreds of entries from locals and visitors. The SoWal Staff and some discerning local judges helped us narrow down the best entries. The judges for 2011 were Kevin Boyle, Renee Georgeff, Alicia Leonard, Jami Ray, Kelli Siler, and Debbie Wheeler.
This year's judges are still being held under wraps for a bit longer until we hear back from everyone including bad-boy coutry-western performer Jason Aldean, who is swimming under double reds at the moment.
Here are a few finalists from last year: You're So SoWal If...
“...you own two pairs of flip flops: one pair for casual and one pair for formal occasions.”
“...you consider a long distance relationship dating someone in Destin."
“...you don’t own a pair of pants.”
“ ...your dog refuses to walk off the sidewalk because he knows he'll step on a sand spur.”
"...you plan your day around what color the beach flag is."
" ...your best suit is a swimsuit."
Our overall 2011 winner is from Jenny Dargavell who wrote her entry in reference to Sundays at Grayton Beach's famous Red Bar, "You're So SoWal if... church consists of giant mimosas, a cheeseburger and Dread Clampitt as your choir."

(I mean, they were black, so who could tell? :lol:)
Corollary:
You're so not SoWal if you get all dressed up to dine in Seaside.
