EUGENE, OR (August 21, 2014) — Oregon Community Credit Union, the home of the OSU Beaver Card, in conjunction with the Oregon State University Alumni Association, has announced the launch of the “Beavers by the Bay Getaway” photo contest. The contest challenges OSU Beaver Card Platinum Visa® cardholders and new applicants to prove their passion for the Oregon State Beavers by submitting a photo on Facebook that best defines the term “Orange Pride.”

The First Tier prize package includes airfare, hotel and game tickets, as well as entrance to an OSUAA VIP event, ground transportation, and meals. Fifteen Second Tier winners will receive admission for themselves and a guest to a VIP hospitality event at the November 15 Arizona State game at Reser Stadium (includes game tickets). Fifteen Third Tier winners will receive a $30 gift certificate for Beaver merchandise.
