State Launches Explore Georgia Photo Contest
ATLANTA, February 19, 2009 - Take an extra moment to carefully line up your next vacation photo, because it could win you a brand-new global positioning system (GPS). For the first ten months of 2009, the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) is sponsoring the Great GPS Giveaway sweepstakes. Every month through October 2009, visitors and residents alike are invited to submit their Georgia vacation photos on www.ExploreGeorgia.org. All submitted photos will also be considered for use state publications and collateral materials, including the state's official 2010 Travel Guide.
The submitted photos will be featured on ExploreGeorgia.org, and a new winner will take home the grand prize each month: a brand-new Garmin GPS. Contestants can upload as many photographs as they wish: the more times they enter, the greater their chances of winning.
Visit www.ExploreGeorgia.org for full contest rules and entry forms. Check out attraction and accommodation special offers, request publications such as the Calendar of Events or Travel Guide, plan and book your next vacation, or just discover what the state has to offer. Also be sure to sign up for your free Georgia Dream Pass. Membership is free and the card gives you special privileges and exclusive benefits at participating attractions all over the state, such as behind-the-scenes tours, gift shop discounts and priority or free parking.
With a new GPS, you can lose yourself in the beauty of Georgia without ever losing your way. Visit www.ExploreGeorgia.org today and submit your best shots!
