New York (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 -- Today Fodor’s launches "Show Us Your Alaska," a photo contest that allows users to upload their favorite photos of America's last frontier to http://www.fodors.com/contest/alaska for a chance to have their pictures featured in Fodor's Alaska 2009.

Fodor's Alaska 2009 will be among the first of Fodor's Gold Guides to be published in full color this fall. The contest marks not only a celebration of Fodor’s move into four-color, but also an even greater collaboration with Fodor's community of travelers.

"The Fodors.com 'Talk' section is already bursting with first-hand, personal advice and recent guides have incorporated reader feedback and tips," says Fodor's Publisher Tim Jarrell. "With over two million people escaping to Alaska's wilderness every year, we know there's no better expert than a Fodor's traveler."

There’s no purchase necessary to enter. Contestants register on http://www.fodors.com and upload up to five photos per email address, along with a title, caption and brief description. The contest is open from April 15th through May 15th. Three grand prize winners will receive a Garmin® nüvi® 760 personal navigation device, and 10 others will receive a Fodor's guide of their choice. All contestants will have the chance to be featured in the upcoming Fodor's Alaska 2009.
