Asbury Park has a long history of providing catharsis through music, movies, galleries, theater, dance and more. The city’s artistic energy is a sustaining and transformative force. The Asbury Park Arts Council seeks to provide the support to ensure that the arts thrive.

In celebration of the 5th Anniversary of the popular AP’N3 Film Challenge, the Asbury Park Arts Council and the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce invite you to participate in Counter Talk—a social media challenge spotlighting Asbury Park businesses.

To enter the Counter Talk social media challenge, make a short video that creatively showcases your business and include the contest requirements, just like filmmakers who take the annual AP’N3 Film Challenge. Similar to a great conversation starter, Counter Talk is your stage to share your story, your vibe, and why people check out your business. Join this fun, friendly competition open to the entire Asbury Park business community!
