New for 2013 – Photo Sharing/Photo Contest Instructions
Colorado River & Trail Expeditions has designed and developed a section on our website where our rafting guests can share photos from their river trip with each other. Additionally, CRATE has instituted a 2013 Photo Contest with some incredible prizes. Here is how it all works:
1. CRATE customers create a login for themselves. This can be done through your social media accounts or just through your e-mail address.
2. After creating a user file and agreeing to CRATE’s privacy policies, participants can upload their 10 best photos from their river trip onto CRATE’s photo sharing webpage. This can be done by a drag and drop method on more modern browsers(Chrome, Firefox, Opera), or by selecting the photos on your computer and clicking the “upload” button.
3. When the upload is complete, participants will be asked to tell more about each photo. Who took the photo? What was happening when the photo was taken? Where was the photo taken? When was the photo taken – time of day, how far into the trip? How did you take it – type of camera, special camera settings, unique physical location or requirements, etc. Why – what prompted you to take this picture? The more that is written in the description section, the more interesting it will be for others to look at.
4. After you have set up your account, you will be able to download photos posted by other participants from your trip onto your own computer for your personal use. We think this will be a great feature for our guests, because up to 250 of the best pictures from your trip will be available for sharing.
5. Participants will also be able to browse photos from other CRATE trips, although the download feature will only be available for guests on the same trip.
6. In addition to Photo Sharing, CRATE will also be running a Photo Contest in
2013. After agreeing to our rules and procedures a participant can enter a maximum of six photos split among three categories. The categories are “Landscape,” “People,” and “River. “ For the Landscape category we are looking for beautiful scenery. For the People category we are looking for photos with people having a good time hiking, relaxing, getting splashed with a wall of water, or just having a good time on a river trip. For the river section of the contest we are looking for great shots of boats and rapids.
7. Now the EXCITING PART —The Photo Contest will run until midnight on November 30, 2013.
The winners will be decided based on fan votes and popularity. Every time a photo is downloaded by a fellow trip-mate, shared on social media, or liked by someone it will receive points through CRATE’s photo contest algorithim. The photograph having the most points will be deemed the Grand Prize winner. The Grand Prize winner will receive a space on the 2014 Tom Till Grand Canyon Photography Workshop Trip May 3-14. The winner from each category will receive 1 free Utah rafting vacation through Desolation, Cataract, or Westwater Canyon. GET YOUR PHOTOS UPLOADED EARLY SO YOU CAN START ACQUIRING VOTES!!!
That’s it! You’re entered.
Best of all, by using Crate’s Photo Sharing Web Page, all CRATE customers can see your photos and be inspired by the fun, excitement, beauty and adventure experienced on a river expedition.
