Do you have a wild imagination and a knack for photography? The Tacoma Regional Convention + Visitor Bureau is looking to locals to submit photographs and artwork for the official 2009 Tacoma Regional Visitor Guide. Deadline for submission is 5 p.m., October 1, 2008. All skill levels are encouraged to enter!
About
With a national distribution of 125,000 – the Visitor Guide gets around – attracting visitors to Pierce County and providing information on hotels, attractions, restaurants and businesses. Compelling editorial, dynamic design, sample itineraries and multiple maps work together to make trip planning fun and simple!
Vision
Photographs and artwork should reflect Where Art + Nature Meet – the TRCVB's slogan. Imagine glass art in the middle of the lion's den at Point Defiance Zoo, or dragon boats racing down the I-5 corridor. We are looking for creativity that speaks to the region's urban sophistication and outdoor adventure. The best entry will receive a $25 gas card as well as a highlighted spot in the guide. All other entries will still be considered for publication.
Guidelines
Photos and artwork must be original pieces and will become the property of the CVB and may be used for future marketing and promotional purposes at the CVB's discretion. Entries may combine mixed media such as illustration, painting and photography, but must be submitted in a digital format. Entries should represent a place or attraction in Pierce County (Fife, Gig Harbor, Lakewood, Mount Rainier, Puyallup, Tacoma, etc.). Entries that do not meet guidelines will not be considered for publication.
How to Enter
High-resolution digital formats are acceptable (.psd, .tif, .jpeg, .eps). Please email your entry to bridget@traveltacoma.com and include in the subject line: Photo Contest. Entries may also be saved to disc and mailed to the Tacoma Regional Convention + Visitor Bureau, Attn: Bridget Baeth, 1119 Pacific Ave., Ste. 500, Tacoma, WA 98402.
For more information, call Bridget Baeth, Marketing Manager at (253) 284-3267 or bridget@traveltacoma.com.
Deadline: October, 1, 2008
