In order to earn entries, you must take part in acts of support, such as following on Instagram or leaving an encouraging comment.
"Week over week, month over month, we're seeing more and more small businesses, unfortunately, shutter," Meg Marshall, manager of the Queen Street West BIA, told Narcity.
"Queen Street is just an iconic corridor of the city... we don't want to lose this internationally renowned street, so we need to keep the vibrancy, keep the energy, and remind people that we're still here."
She explained that #LoveonQueen is an easy way to get involved and support local from home, as well as boost visibility for small businesses on social media.
"It keeps everyone top of mind, and we're just continuing to push that shop local, support local message."
