Summer Photo Contest | The Winners

photo-contest-logo
It’s been a long road since the beginning of the contest (well not too long, but at least a couple of weeks). We gladly received numerous photographs from people around the world. Some sunsets,  families, friends, animals, archaeological sites, beaches, cenotes and more!

Thank you very much for joining us! It’s been a lot of fun and some hard times picking the 10 finalists.  As you must already know, we only received 1 photo of a creative friend (Thank you Matthew Wolff!); but many others from great amateur and expert photographers that have had the chance of visiting Mexico before.
The 3 winners did an amazing job! A lot of friends and family members LIKEd their photos and that’s why they will now have the hard time deciding who is coming to paradise with them (did you think is was going to be easy?).

A photo is worth a thousand words so, here are the winners of our contest and the lucky guys that will receive a 5-day stay in Cancun!

SUMMER PHOTO CONTEST | Yucatan Holidays

Yucatan Holidays Summer Photo Contest

Hello! If you are reading this is because a) you love photography, b) you love Mexico or c) you want to win 5 days in Cancun (or maybe all of them!)

ABOUT THE CONTEST
I Love MexicoAs we want all to join the contest we will have 2 categories. Category 1 also known as “I love Mexico” and is for those avid and lucky travelers that have already been in Mexico and that have that FAVORITE photo that they want to share.

Category 2, also know as “I want to love Mexico” is for those that haven’t had the chance to visit this amazing country! So then, your mission will be a bit more complicated. You’ll have to download, borrow, cut n’ scan, buy a photo of Mexico and then put yourself in there! Use your imagination! Use Photoshop, paint, scissors and glue or whatever you want!

Each category will have 2 winners! So we are giving away 4 Cancun vacations!

HOW IT WORKS
A) Send your photos to: yhcontests@gmail.com as an attachment. Photo must be at least 600 x 400 pixels. In the subject specify your category: “I love Mexico” or “I want to love Mexico” and in the body write your details (Name and Address) and the details of the photo (When and where it was taken. Feel free to share a short story about it too!) Send your pictures starting TODAY, Friday, July 9th until Monday, July 19th, 2010.

B) The Yucatan Holidays Jury will pick the best 5 pictures for each category.

C) The chosen photos will be published on Yucatan Holidays Facebook page in two photo albums (one for each category) on Thursday, July 22nd.

D) Starting on that date, you’ll have to get as many friends as you can to LIKE your photo! Post it in your wall, send Tweets, write in your blog, do a YouTube video, Digg it, StumbleUpon it, or anything that comes to your mind! Remember your friends will have to LIKE the photos directly in the album in our page, so they MUST become fans first. The 2 photos of each category with more LIKES will be the winners. The last day for your friends to LIKE your photo will be Monday July,26th! The winners will be announced and published on Tuesday July 27th on the Facebook wall!
