We all love to read trip reports.
Whether it's a 2 days trip to Big Sur or an expedition through the Jungle of Borneo, I think all members of this forum share a passion for adventure.
We are always excited to read about journeys and look at the pictures.
So in an effort to entice people to post more trip reports and share their exciting moments, we thought about a new idea for the forum: The Trip of The Month contest.
We are all familiar with the Employee of the Month at McDonalds...so let's try something similar.
Here are the overall rules. These are not set in stone and will be modified if required.
Rules:
-Description: Post a brief description of the journey and the participants.
-Pictures: Post a few pictures of the crew/vehicles/destinations.
-Duration: Trip can be completed or still in progress, but a portion of the trip must happen during the current month.
If the trip does not win and is still in progress the following month, it can be resubmitted. Trip can be of any length.
-Destination: Any destination will do, but obviously, the more interesting or unique the adventure, the better your chances.
-Mission: Having a purpose to the trip (humanitarian, environment, etc.) will increase your odds.
-Vehicle: Actual vehicle used is unimportant. It can be a bicycle, motorcycle, 2CV, Fiat Panda, anything is good.
-Coolness. You may also be able to score some points by driving, let's say, a Ford Limousine from England to Bamako for a charity rally. Funny is good too.
-Submission. Anyone can submit a trip from anyone else as long as you have the driver's permission - even if you don't know him. It does not have to be your own trip.
Just contact the crew and let them know, I am sure they will be thrilled! Every time you surf the web and see a cool trip, go ahead and share it!
One person can submit as many trips as he/she wants, there is no limit.
To submit a trip, just post a link, description and a picture in the monthly thread. That is, I will create a sticky thread every month and we'll just post the trip there.
The winner will be chosen by the members of this forum.
Prize:
-Featured on the front page of Expedition Portal for the whole following month. (which in turn can drive a lot of traffic to your personal site)
-2 Free Expedition Portal stickers
-One free copy of Overland Journal
-Overland Journal cap or other accessories, depending of the availaibilty
-Fame amongst your follow members and your family
-Increases your vehicle value by 34%
-and more!
The contest will start August 1st.
We will collect submissions throughout the month.
A poll will then be created and members will have 5 days to vote.
Thanks in advance for your participation!!!
