If you have enjoyed being in Uptown Charlotte near Romare Bearden Park anytime this past year or so, your eyes have undoubtedly been drawn to the beautiful 33-story high-rise on the corner of 3rd Street and S. Poplar that has deservedly earned the social media hashtag, #UptownStunner. We are talking about Ascent Uptown, Charlotte’s newest and most opulent apartment community set to open June/July 2017.
In celebration of their summer opening and inspired by their dedication to community involvement, Ascent Uptown is about to give away over $3,000 in prizes to the top three winners of their first ever #UptownStunner Photo Contest! The contest is open to anyone with a camera (or smartphone) and a social media account.
Here is how you enter the contest:
Simply take a picture of the new Ascent Uptown building from your favorite angle, then upload it on social media using #UptownStunner. You are encouraged to be as creative as you like in your photography.

The contest is wide-open to your interpretation and artistic expression!
