Travel & Adventure Show Fan Photo Contest

Travel & Adventure Show Fan Photo Contest

At this year’s Chicago Show, T&AS unveiled a brand new social media component – a Facebook Photo Contest. Travel & Adventure Show Facebook fans were asked to enter their favorite vacation pictures from 2013 for a chance to win a free trip for 2 to Mexico, courtesy of Contest Co-Sponsors Mexico Tourism Board, Los Cabos Tourism Board and AeroMexico. The results were outstanding!

After 165 participants, 195 entries and over 2,800 votes, 3 pictures with the most votes were chosen for a trip to the Final Round which took place Live at the Travel Channel Theater after Samantha Brown’s speaking session. The 3 Finalists received front row seats to Samantha’s session and a Family pack of 4 tickets to the Chicago Show where Samantha would select the Grand Prize Winner. The Grand Prize included:

•          4 day, 3 night all inclusive stay at the Royal Solaris Los Cabos Resort
•          Roundtrip airfare
•          A Royal Dolphin Swim Experience from Dolphin Discovery Los Cabos

With hundreds of attendees watching, Samantha picked Janelle Rominski of Chicago as the Grand Prize  Winner!

 As the Los Angeles Show is quickly approaching, Lake Powell agreed to donate the Grand Prize which included a one week rental of their 75 foot Odyssey houseboat with two personal water crafts. Along with the Grand Prize, South Seas Adventures contributed an 18k Pearl Pendant Necklace and a Black Pearl bracelet as the second and third prizes. 

With less than 9 days left until the finalists are announced, the contest has generated over 4,175 views and 50 entries, with the three leaders have over 60 votes each!

The next contest is for the Washington, DC TAS and we are still looking for a "once-in-a-lifetime" Grand Prize for the Photo contest! If interested, please email jonathan_golicz@unicomm.org for more information.
