I'm the judge!

Travelocity.ca wants Canadian travellers to share their travel experiences while at the same time, have a chance to win a trip for two to Las Vegas. The result is Travelocity.ca's "Share Your Travel Experiences" photo contest (www.travelexperiences.ca or www.travelocity.ca/photocontest) (“Contest”). The Contest, which began on July 11, 2007 and ends on September 10, 2007, allows Canadians to share their travel photos with friends, family and fellow Canadians, while having the opportunity to win fabulous prizes.

The prizes for the Contest include digital cameras and a grand prize three-night trip for two to Las Vegas from Travelocity.ca. Travelocity.ca has also partnered with Black’s, Canada’s leading national photography retailer, to add a range of photo finishing and digital printing packages to the prize pool. Black’s will also be helping participants to maximize their chances of getting that winning shot by providing digital photography tips on www.travelexperiences.ca.

Canadians are encouraged to enter their photographs into one of ten travel categories, including:
Fun with Family and Friends Romance & Relaxation
Nature’s Glory Travels in History
Big City, Bright Lights Life’s A Beach
Sports & Adventures The Great White North
Eco-Tourism Entertainment Extravaganza
Our panel of judges will select one winner from each travel category, including one overall grand prize winner (a travel category prize will not be awarded for the category from which the grand prize winning entry was chosen). The judging panel will judge the photographs entered into the Contest based on Artistic Merit; Technical Quality; and Creativity. The Grand Prize winner will receive a three-night trip for two to Las Vegas from Travelocity.ca and a photo finishing package from Black’s valued at $1,000 (Canadian Dollars). There will be nine travel category winners and each will receive a digital camera from Travelocity.ca, and a photo finishing prize package from Black’s valued at $100 (Canadian Dollars).
In addition, visitors to Travelocity.ca or Travelexperiences.ca sites will be able to rate their favourite photographs (based on 1 to 5 stars, 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest). The entrant whose photograph receives the highest average star rating will be eligible to win the User’s Choice Prize, consisting of a digital camera from Travelocity.ca, and a photo finishing package from Black’s valued at $100 (Canadian Dollars).
The judging will be performed by a high-quality panel including Brian Simpson, General Manager of Travelocity.ca; Phil Chapman, Vice-President, Imaging and Development for Black Photo Corporation; Loren Christie, Travel Correspondent for Canada AM; Kathryn Folliott, Associate Editor of Travelweek; Paul Burwell, Edmonton-based photographer and Let’s Go Digital columnist for Outdoor Photography Canada magazine; and Graig Abel, official photographer for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors.
