How to Enter
Back to Top of ListShop, dine and explore your way through Downtown Augusta for a chance to win a local staycation. Follow these four steps to submit a receipt-based entry.
Step 1: Visit Two Businesses
Make a purchase at two qualifying Downtown Augusta businesses. Choose from local restaurants, coffee shops, bars, boutiques, specialty stores, attractions and other visitor-facing experiences within the eligible Downtown area.
Step 2: Save Your Receipts
Keep one receipt from each business. Both purchases must be made between September 1 and December 31, 2026. The same receipt cannot be used for more than one entry.
Step 3: Choose Your Form
Complete the digital entry form on this page and upload clear photos of both receipts, or visit Augusta & Co. at 1010 Broad Street to complete a paper form.
Step 4: Submit Your Entry
Submit your digital form and receipt images online, or attach both original receipts to your paper form and place everything inside the Staycation mailbox at Augusta & Co.
You may submit one entry per day. Each receipt-based entry requires two new receipts. An individual may not submit both a receipt-based entry and a free entry on the same day.
Local Tip: Make an afternoon of it! Pair lunch or coffee with a visit to a Downtown Augusta boutique, bookstore, gallery or attraction. It is an easy way to experience two different sides of Downtown while supporting local businesses.
