The very famous travel website Fodor’s Travel which is a division of Random House, Inc has announced their Costa Rica photography contest. The official theme of the contest is “Show Us Your Costa Rica.” The main idea of the contest is to have everyone: tourists and Costa Rica citizens share their most memorable Costa Rica pictures and the best ones will be selected to be featured in Fodor’s Costa Rica 2010 guidebook– on sale in October 2009.
Since the website is specialized in traveling, the pictures are expected to be show beautiful Costa Rica sceneries, culture and traditions and anyone interested can participate, the deadline to send the pictures is January 5th, 2009. Among prizes, Fodor’s will be giving the winning photographer a suite of Fodor’s new full-color guidebooks and the 10 runners-up will receive two Fodor’s guidebooks of their choice, the selected pictures will also be featured in the Costa Rica guide at www.fodors.com as well.
Costa Rica has really incredible locations to take unbelievable pictures so; basically anyone who is in Costa Rica and has a camera can participate. I think the most trouble will be for the judges since I am sure the material for CostaRica will be a lot even though the deadline is only two weeks away. Also since there are some many people coming to Costa Rica for vacations material will be plenty for sure.
For those interesting in sending their Costa Rica picture to the contest visit Fodor’s website and upload your picture as soon as possible, who knows, maybe your picture will appear in their Costa Rica travel guide.
