The Theme: Winter

Into the void

© Makini

With Christmas just around the corner, the northern hemisphere is ushering in winter. In honor of the season, Winter is this month's photo competition theme on Travellerspoint.

The competition is sponsored by HotelClub.com.au, who allow you to book over 48,000 hotels in 122 countries.

Enter for a chance to win a A$500 HotelClub.com.au voucher, a Globetrotter's Logbook and an increase of your photo storage limit by 5GB.

Submit up to 3 of your best and most interesting shots of winter scenes.

The runner-up will receive a Globetrotter's Logbook and a 5GB increase of their photo storage limit.

You can nominate your photos anytime before January 12. (Note: We changed this because of the Christmas period, to allow more photos to be nominated).

Terms

Anyone can enter. Travellerspoint staff are not allowed to win.

For every photo you enter, you must:

• have a high resolution version (4megapixels or higher)
• own the copyright
• have not already entered it into a previous competition

You are allowed to enter photos you uploaded to Travellerspoint before, even if they haven't been featured. The moderators will take another look at any photo tagged for the competition.

By entering your photo, you're also giving Travellerspoint a non-transferable, non-revocable right to use it to promote Travellerspoint. You will still own the copyright, and full credit will be given to you for the photo.

HotelClub.com.au voucher conditions

The voucher is for $500 AUD. It is valid for one consecutive stay at one hotel on the HotelClub website. It is not transferable nor redeemable for cash. If the booking value is more than the voucher value, the winner is responsible for the
balance. If the booking value is less than the voucher value, the remaining value is forfeited.

Nomination

You can nominate up to three photos. Only those featured by our photo moderators will be selected. If you'd like to nominate a photo that you uploaded to Travellerspoint previously, but that wasn't featured, you can still nominate it. The moderators will take another look at any photo tagged for the competition.

If you're nominating a new photo:

• Go to your photo upload page and upload your photos as per usual.
• Under Tags, add these two tags: competition and winter.
• If you have tagged your photo correctly, it will appear on this page.

If you want to nominate a photo that you have already uploaded to Travellerspoint:

• Go to your private photo gallery.
• Tick the "select" box under the photos you want to nominate. Once you've selected all the photos you'd like to nominate, click "Edit Selected" at the bottom of the page.
• Under Tags, add these two tags: competition and winter.
• If you have tagged your photo correctly, it will appear on this page.

Featured nominated photos will appear on this page.
