The polls are closing. There’s a little over 24 hours left for our annual photo contest and the top photos are running close! In case you didn’t know, this year we did things a little differently. Apart from the grand prize winner, the following top ten photos with the most votes will be entered into a raffle and two will be selected at random for the runner-ups. These lucky ducks get their pick of a prize pack from an awesome selection we’ve put together, along with $500 Quest credit and a swag bag from United Planet! We’re pretty excited to give these away, so look forward to the announcement next week!
In the meantime- keep voting! Did we mention voters win prizes too? We’ve already mailed out a Human Planet DVD set, Universal Clip-On Camera Lens Sets and a Teton Spots Oasis Hydration Backpack, but we still have two final voters to pick for prizes this week. In addition, at the end of the contest we will be selecting one voter at random to receive $500 Quest credit! And with that, here’s the full list of what’s at stake.
