Friendship, fun, neighborhood, community pride part of new contest

Winners of Emerald Coast Ambassadors' Neighborhoods of Excellence Competition for Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Santa Rosa and Escambia counties will be announced at a community luau in May, according to a news release from Ladies of Navarre.

Emerald Coast Ambassadors, a new social network for women, encourages local women to be actively involved in making a real difference. It inspires Emerald Coast communities to collaborate, compete, recognize and share best practices in a unified effort to help make the region a better place to live, work and play.

The competition is based on categories of friendship, fun, neighborhood and community pride. Winners in each city, county and region will be announced in May and profiled in an upcoming special edition magazine.
