A Trip to the Galapagos for Hilton Loyalists
Hilton is running a contest with National Geographic Magazine encouraging its loyalty members to shoot photographs of places where they travel and spend time for a chance to go to one of the most spectacular settings in the world: The Galapagos Islands.
Through Nov. 21, members of the Hilton HHonors program, which encompasses the company’s 10 hotel brands, can enter the “Stories Without Words” photo contest. Photos are being accepted in five different categories, including celebrations, people, adventures, culture and spaces they discover.
The grand-prize winner will receive a National Geographic Expeditions trip for two to the Galapagos Islands that includes a 10-day, nine-night adventure, round-trip airfare to Ecuador and hotel accommodations, along with 1 million Hilton HHonors bonus points and $10,000 in spending money. Five first-place winners will be awarded 250,000 Hilton HHonors bonus points, a Nikon Coolpix P500 camera and a copy of National Geographic’s Ultimate Field Guide to Photography.
“This photo contest gives our members an outlet to share their best moments with the world—and get rewarded in return,” Jeff Diskin, senior vice president, global customer marketing, Hilton Worldwide said in a release.
Dan Westergren, senior photo editor for National Geographic Traveler, will judge the photos. He will select 10 finalists, the top two from each of the five categories, around Nov. 30.
The finalist images will be posted at www.HHonors.com/PhotoStories for public voting to determine the five first-prize winners—one from each of the categories. Westergren will select the grand-prize winner from the 10 original finalists.
