NEWS FACTS: IgoUgo, one of the most popular online travel
communities in the world, kicks off its inaugural Photo Feud
contest (http://www.igougo.com/photo_contest/) today. The contest
challenges anyone with award-worthy travel photos to submit them at
IgoUgo.com where users will be able to vote for their favorites.
The two-week contest-entry period begins May 15, during which users
can upload a maximum of 10 new shots per day. All user submissions
will be awarded IgoUgo GO Points, which are redeemable for a
variety of rewards such as online gift certificates and
frequent-flyer miles. On June 1, registered IgoUgo members
(registration is free) will have from June 1 through June 15 to
vote for their favorite photo and keep coming back to the site to
vote for their favorites in face-offs with other submitted photos.
The feud will pit two photos up against one another and users will
be prompted to select their favorite. After choosing one, another
photo will pop up and users will vote for their favorite based on
those two photos. In the end, the photo with the most votes wins.
The grand prize is a 6-day/5-night trip for two (airfare and hotel
included) to the winner�s choice of one of the following Mexico
destinations: Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Cozumel or Cancun. The
second prize is a $250 gift certificate to GiftCertificates.com,
and the third prize is a $50 gift certificate to lastminute.com.
