Experience Seekers: Rally for Our New Travel Adventures Contest!

Today we’re pleased to announce our latest contest and introduce you to some terrific partners that we LOVE to work with. The Travel Adventures Photo Contest celebrates ANY adventure you have on your travels, wherever you go! 

Whether you are peak-climbing and snap a shot of a mountain goat or are relaxing in a foreign street cafe, we want to see your unique story. Hang-gliding, riding a camel or deep in an ice cave – awesome! Stepping off a train, buying a wrap from a street vendor or shopping in a bazaar – sounds good to us! We’re calling all Experience Seekers to join the fun.

When we thought up Travel Adventures as a theme, there were three partners that shot to the top of our minds: Manfrotto, Lowepro, and Lume Cube. Of course, Manfrotto is known for their world-renowned tripods, including the brand-new lineup of BeFree lightweight travel tripods. Lowepro makes just about the best photo bags around. Lume Cube is the leader in versatile lighting for travelers and adventurers alike. Trust us – if you step outside of your front door with a camera in hand, you need gear from these three fabulous companies!

Entering the Travel Adventures Photo Contest is not only fun for the soul and a spark for your happy memories, but it also makes you eligible for some incredible prizes which total OVER $3800 in value – wow! Here’s the juicy list:

• Grand Prize - Lume Cube AIR + $250 store credit at the Lume Cube store (total value $320); Manfrotto Tripod Kit - Befree Advanced Carbon + Lowepro ProTactic BP 450 AW II (total value $590); Skylum full software suite + $100 Amazon gift card (total value $305)

For instance, taking a “behind-the-scenes” photo with your smartphone or taking a screengrab of the photo while editing would prove your usage. These are monster prizes, so take an extra moment and get a chance to win big!
