Late last year, we ran a survey and asked what our readers wanted from us. The overwhelming response was that you wanted more contests and more ways to participate as wanderlusters. You wanted to feel more like part of a community.
Well, in response to your request(s), this month we’re launching our new travel photo contest!
You’ll have the opportunity to enter by submitting your favorite travel images which will then get posted in a new post on this blog. Each month we’ll have a new theme. This month is… Paris. We figured the best way to get this party started was to pick a popular destination.
Here’s how it works…
1) Search your archives for your favorite image(s) of Paris.
2) Choose no more than two images, resize them to no larger than 600 x 800 pixels and, ideally, optimized for the web.
3) Submit image(s) to: [email protected].
4) Once you’ve submitted your images, fill out this brief form to let us know these images are your own.
5) We’ll add them to a post on this blog so you can see your own image as well as the competition.
6) Early next month, a few behind-the-scenes WaL judges will choose a winner based on:
- how well your image fits the theme – 25%
- unique viewpoint – 25%
- overall quality – 50%
7) April’s contest ends April 29, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
8) Winner will be announced in early May.
April’s winner will receive the following from the folks at XShot:
- One XShot Camera Extender
- One XShot iPhone case
- One XShot bag
Thanks to the folks at XShot for supplying this month’s prize!
