The big idea

One street. 400 years of stories.
Your lens.

Old Wethersfield Main Street is calling content creators to spotlight Connecticut's oldest town — its shops, dining, historic landmarks, and that one-of-a-kind colonial charm. Make a reel, share the magic, and help more visitors discover the village. The standout creators take home cash and a permanent spot on the Cove.Cards app.

$10 in prizes

What you're playing for.

Two campaigns. Real cash. And a feature that keeps working for you long after the contest ends.

⭐ GRAND FEATURE
🚶‍♀️🧅

Your Curated Walk on the Cove.Cards App

The top creator works with the Old Wethersfield Main Street team to design a signature curated walk — your favorite route along Main Street, your stops, your story. It launches as a featured Guided Experience inside the Cove.Cards app, where every visitor who follows your trail collects Red Onions at each stop. Your name, your walk, seen by the whole village all year long.

  • Your name and bio headline the walk, with a link back to your channels.
  • Featured all year — long after the reels stop scrolling.
