Photo Contest

The gorgeous scenery and abundance of happy faces make it easy to win.

Any photographs you send us following your tour with us (as many as you like!) will automatically be entered, and will be anonymously judged on September 15th of the following year by our staff.

Hints for taking good photos

Use a good camera. Disposables are convenient, but pictures taken through cheap lenses are usually not suitable for reproduction.
The higher the resolution and larger the size of digital photos, the better the chances of winning.
Try to capture smiling faces without sunglasses! Eyes and smiles help contribute to winning pictures.
