Travelocity bows viral photo contest

And Black's is getting in on the action as Canadians are invited to share their travel photos online.

Travelocity.ca launched ‘Share Your Travel Experiences,’ a richly viral photo contest, yesterday. Until September 10, Canadians are being invited to post their travel photos online – with the prospect of winning not just envy (or possibly scorn), but a range of prizes including a three-night trip for two to Las Vegas.

Shutterbugs’ entries will be judged by not only a professional panel, but also everyone who visits the site and chooses to vote for their favourite shots – with every vote increasing entrants’ chances of winning.

National photography retailer Black’s is getting in on the action, offering branded digital photo tips on the site, and contributing the penultimate prize – a photo-finishing package valued at $1,000. As well as the trip to Vegas, Travelocity.ca is kicking in digital cameras for nine winners.

There’s even a prize for Canadians who don’t submit photos. Those who register and vote on one or more photographs will be entered in a random drawing for a digital camera from Travelocity.ca and a $100 photo-finishing package from Black’s.
