A huge congratulations to all our recent competition winners!

These included a three week tour of India for two people in our travel photography competition, holidays to Nainital, Thekkady, Ooty and Jodhpur in our Homestay Holiday Auction contests and a $30/£20 Amazon.com voucher in our Guess the City competition.

We received hundreds of entries and all the winners have now been chosen!

 

TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION

We received some fantastic photos as entries to our travel photography competition and it took the judges some time to narrow down the winner. The standard of entry was very high so a huge congratulation to Maresa Esmee Smith from Watford in the UK who wins a three week tour of India for two people.

Maresa submitted the three entries below into the contest, showing her talent as a photographer in mixed lighting conditions with the ability to capture fantastic natural portrait shots of people.

We can’t wait to see the images Maresa takes on her trip to India which will see her visiting some of the most diverse sights of India including the Tibetan settlements of Dharamshala in North India, the iconic cities of Agra and Rajasthan, enjoying a houseboat experience in Jammu and Kashmir and experiencing a night time safari in the wildlife and big cat haven of Pali.

We’ve already announced some of our homestay holiday auction winners. Congratulations again to Jayanthi Sridhar who won a trip to Ooty for just Rs. 14.
