Outstanding Prizes

• The Grand Prize is a fabulous Deluxe River Cruise for two – a $10,000 value!
• The 2nd Place winner receives an iPad mini to take and share more pictures of a future journey.
• The People's Choice winner, chosen by the Vantage Community, will be featured on the cover of the next Vantage Travel global catalog.

Picture Guidelines

• High-resolution digital images are strongly preferred. When taking photos, set your camera to its highest/largest-size setting, which will make the image high resolution (3MB / 300 DPI digital color photography). Small images cannot be reproduced in print, no matter how nice the subject.
• Attach a brief description of the photo's subject, your name, the place where the picture was taken, the tour name, and the names of all individuals shown, from left to right.
• Be sure to include your name, address, and telephone number.
• Mail your photos to us on a non-returnable CD. Vantage reserves the right to publish all photos.
• Please limit your entry to 10 images and send us only your best. CDs with more than 10 images will not be reviewed.
• If you do send prints, they must be professionally printed (no home digital photo printers) and at least 5"x7" (8"x10" is preferred). Write your name(s), address, and information about the photo on the back with a felt-tip pen.

Here are some tips from our judges:

• Vantage Name Tags tend to catch our eye
• We look for photos showing moments of discovery, learning, and interaction between people.
• Do not color correct your images - leave that to the pros.
• Do not digitally manipulate your photos in any way - we can tell.
• Only send your best images. We will contact you if we would like to see more.
• Make sure your photo is in focus or it won't reproduce well.

Sorry, slides or photos cannot be returned. Vantage reserves the right to publish photos.
