As hard as it may be to believe, the North Wildwood Seawall has been in existence for 10 years!
In celebration of this milestone, the city is hosting a "Name the Seawall" throughout the summer (official deadline is August 31).
To enter, contestants must write a 50-100 word essay explaining what the seawall means to them, in addition to their chosen name for it.
The Grand Prize winner will receive (in addition to bragging rights) a week-long stay for a family of 4 at the Acropolis Resort Motel.
For complete information, including how and where to submit entries, visit the official page of North Wildwood Recreation & Tourism on Facebook.
A ceremony will be held on Saturday, September 17 at 10 a.m. to dedicate the new name.
Contest participants do not have to be present on that day to win.
