The "Good Travels" Contest: Win a Trip Anywhere in the World!
Dolphin conservation in the Greek Islands. Trekking with hill tribes in Thailand. Studying glacier melt in Iceland. Exploring archaeology in Egypt. Coaching children's soccer in Ecuador.
These are just a few of the endless possibilities to do good in our world. And thanks to Razoo's new Good Travels contest, you and a friend could be on your way to this goodness in the very near future.
Razoo has just launched the contest, to encourage us all to be good travelers. What is a good traveler, you ask? Well, it probably means something different for each of us, but it might encompass things like an open mind, curiosity, an eagerness to experience new things and meet new people, a desire to learn and to grow, and a willingness to give back while we're visiting new places.
Here's a quick primer...
How does the contest work?
It's quite simple -- there are four steps to complete on Razoo.com, which takes about 10 minutes. And then you're entered to win -- it's that easy! Get started here.
Are you really going to send me anywhere in the world?
Yup. The grand prize winner and a friend can choose a "good travels" trip from among the thousands of offerings on ResponsibleTravel.com, and Razoo will make it happen. (See our official contest rules for all the details.)
Are there any other prizes involved?
You bet. And they're pretty awesome, too. Five 2nd prize winners will receive the new XO laptop, from the One Laptop Per Child intiative. Today the OLPC team launched their "Give One Get One" campaign, so not only will our five winners get a laptop, but five laptops will also be donated to children in developing nations, in the winners' names.
Ten 3rd prize winners will receive the new Flip Ultra
camcorder. This is the perfect travel companion -- a pocket-sized way to document your journey.
Who else is involved in this contest?
Razoo has teamed up with a great group of partners to offer this contest. Our team includes The National Peace Corps Association, ResponsibleTravel.com, Student Movement for Real Change, and One World.
I'm sold, how do I enter?
Check out our contest information on Razoo.com, and get started right now. Good luck, and good travels!
If you really want to be guaranteed to win the laptop ;-) (as I did), go buy one and give one now. http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/index.php and while you are at it, count that as an act on razoo and join the OLPC cause. Can someone come up with a way for me to buy that adorable Flip Ultra while doing good? Any challenge grants around on that?
Great point about buying the laptop -- they've actually extended the Give One Get One deadline to December 31, so now more people can get onboard! There's also another way to guarantee a win -- recruit friends to the contest. The top two recruiters will receive the XO laptop and the Flip camcorder, respectively.
