Abercrombie & Kent Announces a Journey of a Lifetime Photo Contest on Facebook

Monday, 16 January 2012

While the old adage says a picture is worth a thousand words, Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) is upping the stakes and making it worth much more – a journey of a lifetime to Antarctica. Travellers are encouraged to submit their most inspiring and powerful travel photos on a special contest tab on Abercrombie & Kent’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/abercrombiekent by January 29, 2012 for a chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime adventure cruise to Antarctica for two, under the guidance of expert photographer, Richard Harker.

With its pristine snow and ice starkly contrasting with the sea and sky and an abundance of wildlife, Antarctica is a photographer’s dream. Abercrombie & Kent will take one lucky winner and their guest to the White Continent in comfort and style aboard the spacious MV ‘Le Boreal,’ the only all-balcony expedition ship in the region. In 14 adventure-filled days, explore shorelines teeming with penguin and seal alongside leading naturalists, go behind the scenes of an environmental research station and chat with on-board experts nightly about the day's discoveries on a program that has been described as "the one to beat for high-quality, hands-on exploration" by Conde Nast Traveler and cited for “best program” and “best shore excursions” by Cruise Reports and recommended by Fodor’s “Best Cruises.”

Accompanying the cruise is veteran photographer Richard Harker, the resident on-board photo coach for A&K’s Antarctic expeditions. Richard will provide the winner with hands-on guidance to help make every shot count on this spectacular adventure. This Antarctic journey includes twin-share accommodation, meals, all transfers, ground transport, internal air, fully-guided sightseeing, including shore excursions, and has a total value of US $26,600. The trip takes place December 8 – 20, 2012. Learn more about Classic Antarctica by visiting www.abercrombiekent.com.au

“Whether it be a safari in East Africa, a family celebration in India or a solo adventure in South America, our clients return with amazing photos to share their experiences”, says Sujata Raman, Managing Director of Abercrombie & Kent Australia. “Facebook is a great platform for inspiring travel, and we wanted to encourage our followers to share their pictures and reward them for making the effort to do so.”

Photo entries will be accepted until January 29, 2012. After the first round of entries, a panel of judges, including Jorie Butler Kent, a published photographer and Vice Chairman of Abercrombie & Kent, and Richard Harker will choose the top ten finalists. These photos will be featured on the A&K Facebook contest page from February 1 – 10 so Abercrombie & Kent’s Facebook fans can vote for the winning photo. The winning photo will be announced on February 13, 2012.
