Just reminding everyone of the contest.

Entries must recount overnight(s) canoe and/or kayak trips taken in Algonquin Park during the 2015 season. Entries will be limited to one per person per geographic “category”. Full contact information must accompany each entry, including name, mailing address, phone number, email address. Only the names and regional locations will be disclosed to the public.

Cut-off date for entries will be December 1st and winners will be announced by March 1st, 2016. Entries should be submitted to canoe@algonquinadventures.com . Entries will be acknowledged as they are received, by category and name. The five (5) geographic categories are comprised of trips originating at a number of specific Access Points and associated 'sub-points'. Each of these "Zones" will have a First Prize of a $100 Algonquin Outfitters Gift Card and a Second Prize of a $50 Algonquin Outfitters Gift Card.

Reminder that contest submission requirements are detailed at http://www.algonquinadventures.com/triplogs/tlfr5000.html

I've already had to issue a reminder that .. "Full contact information must accompany each entry, including name, mailing address, phone number, email address. Only the names and regional locations will be disclosed to the public." Without this info, a submission is not admissible.

I've also had to communicate that .. "Trip-log photo files should be in JPG format, with their longest dimension at 1280 pixels." Without appropriately sized individual JPG photo files, a trip-log's photo component cannot be judged.

Because of unanticipated misinterpretations, I've added two clarifications to the contest details page .. http://www.algonquinadventures.com/triplogs/tlfr5000.html

Clarification (September 11th): Individual photo file names and their accompanying captions should be included at their specific locations within the text file, as per the illustration below.

Clarification (September 11th): Photo files should not be modified into graphic files. This means that enhancements such as borders, shading, watermarks or captions are not acceptable, as per the illustration below.
