A photo contest from Gap Adventures that centers around using the five senses.

The crew over at Gap Adventures is running a new photo contest called “sense appeal.”

They invite you to submit your best travel photograph in one of five categories—sight, taste, smell, sound and touch. The Grand Prize winner will receive a US$1,500 travel voucher from Gap Adventures and a MatadorU Photo Scholarship. They’’ll also choose a runner up who will receive a US$250 travel voucher.

How It Works

The contest is hosted by Gap Adventures and sponsored by MatadorU. It runs from August 23, 2010 – September 26, 2010.

Winners will be notified by e-mail no later than September 30, 2010. Once a winner has been notified by e-mail of their win, he or she will have two weeks to contact the Gap Adventures reservations team who will require all of their contact details and review the procedures for claiming a prize / booking a trip.

For full contest details and to enter, please use this entry form at Matador Network.
