2nd Annual Outer Banks Travel Guide Contest
Your favorite vacation pics could illustrate 2011 Official Guide
Outer Banks, NC - July 14, 2010 - Take great shots during your OBX vacation this year, because they could land you in the Outer Banks Official Travel Guide. In response to overwhelming public interest, the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau is bringing back the photo contest that started a craze last summer. All new travelers' photos will be used to illustrate the 2011 Guide due out this fall. Those who participate and make it into the book could have their favorite family photos or artistic snapshots in welcome centers across the country and direct mailed to people all over the world who request it. A production run of 450,000 books is scheduled, and there is also an online version of the Guide that's available for download to your computer and easy to share.
Show Us What You Love
"The neat thing about this event is that it allows anybody with a camera to share their love for the OBX, and that's kind of the theme we're running with this year," presents Lee Nettles, Managing Director of the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau. "We are used to showing the world what we think is special about the Outer Banks, but now we want to see in pictures what keeps our loyal fans coming back year after year. We came up with this contest as one more way to thank our visitors for choosing us as their favorite destination. It gives the average person a chance to be published, and we think that's pretty cool."
See Yourself On The OBX All Year Long
To participate, all you have to do is email your favorite pictures with a description of where they were taken. They can be of family gatherings, weddings, lighthouses and local landmarks, outdoor adventure like horseback riding, kayaking or hang gliding, or even your group enjoying a really cool rental cottage. There's no special requirements, just submit photos showcasing what you love about the OBX. No more than five photo submissions per person, please. The Outer Banks Visitors Bureau will contact those selected in the coming weeks. All persons whose photos are selected will get credit in the 2011 Outer Banks Official Travel Guide, so be sure to include your name, address and phone number with your photos emailed to photos@outerbanks.org
