“Stop & Stare” Travel Photo Contest

Published December 1, 2009 | By solotraveler

Last month I had the pleasure of going to London for all sorts of travel events including a Tweet-up organized by Lewis Shields of Flagship Consulting. Thanks Lewis. And, thanks for arranging the door prize I won — a voucher from Hotels.com. Then I thought, hey, why not pay the good luck forward. So, here you go. A contest.

If I could have vote, I would go for the photo number 28. The light is good making the photo more lively. Apparently, its no longer counted. Is there another round for this year?

Will it be sent to me in Romania?

True. The earlier your photo is up the more time to get votes but the contest was announced to everyone at the same time. Some people just responded faster. I can’t really help that. I just hope that everyone has some fun – those who enter and those who view the photos. I know I’m having a great time as some amaze, some delight and some make me laugh out loud.

I don’t think this contest is fair. The last added pictures have less time for votes. The other pictures already have votes.
p.s.this is not about my picture, it was added before
