Carmel’s ‘Wearing is Caring’ contest aims to promote using face coverings to fight COVID
Who was that guy who spoke to me in the canned goods aisle? Was that my neighbor picking out asparagus?
It happens every day in grocery stores and other places across the City of Carmel as many residents have heeded the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and medical professionals by wearing face coverings to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. But not everyone is following suit, and the City of Carmel would like to urge all residents and visitors to stay safe and protect others by wearing a mask.

In that spirit, the City is launching a Wearing is Caring “Who is Behind the Mask” contest on Facebook and Instagram now through Friday, May 15. Each day the City will share a cleverly-cropped photo and challenge you to guess who is behind the mask. Here is how to play along:
- Comment on the Facebook or Instagram post with your guess.
- One winner will be randomly selected from the comments.
- The winner will receive a $50 gift card from one of our local merchants.
This contest will feature well-known faces and local celebrities – people you would easily recognize without the mask – and will reveal the identity of the masked person the next day.
It’s important to remember to wear a mask when out in public in order to help keep the most vulnerable safe. Many who carry the COVID-19 virus never show symptoms. This will become more important as communities continue to emerge from the Governor’s stay-at-home restrictions and local businesses begin to open.
