sfTravel.com Announces Spring San Francisco Photo Contest

sfTravel.com is offering a $100 cash prize for the best photo submitted of San Francisco by July 1, 2009.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 26, 2009 --Visitors to San Francisco and local photographers can win up to $100 in a Spring photo contest from sfTravel.com. As a leading source of independent information to plan your trip to San Francisco since 1996 - sfTravel.com is offering both prizes and public exposure for photographers of America's greatest city. The free photo contest is part of the continued expansion of sfTravel to leverage user-generated content and help plan great trips to San Francisco.

San Francisco Underground Travel, published at www.sfTravel.com is a brutally honest, independent voice for reviews of San Francisco trips. Focused entirely on vacations and business trip planning - the site reviews hotels, restaurants, activities, and green transportation options. Not tied to any corporate source - sfTravel is best known for its "cutting" reviews of tourist traps in San Francisco to avoid.

Ashley Nichols, Director of Marketing states, "We've been publishing reviews of hotels from our readers for a long time, and wanted to offer an avenue for the photos generated on San Francisco vacations to compete for quality. Since starting the contest, we have gotten some very cool and unique shots. I'm excited to judge these photos and publish some great ones at the site."

The site began as a fun outlet to share "weird" parts of San Francisco culture. As time went on during the 1990's - reader feedback consistently demanded detailed information on hotels. Most of the early content was directly submitted from readers sharing their experiences - both good and bad at hotels, restaurants, and attractions like Golden Gate Bridge or Alcatraz. Since then, large corporate sites have developed major engines around user reviews, but the site continues to take a homegrown approach to sharing information and being a part of the online community.

Although many photo contests are charging entry fees - the San Francisco photo contest is free to enter. With the $100 prize - it won't make you rich - but could be a great outlet to highlight your photos to a larger market and buy a nice dinner. Sample contest entries are featured on the photo contest page during the contest, and winners will be featured throughout the site after the contest is judged.

"We find that the best entires are a combination of a picturesque tourist attraction such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Alcatraz, or the San Francisco Bay - combined with people enjoying the site. We're getting a lot of very cool entries, but we believe it is the more unique takes on the San Francisco area that will likely take the top prize.

It's both easy and fun to enter your vacation photography from San Francisco or even amazing local photography. Between great exposure for your photos and a cash top prize - the Spring photo contest at www.sfTravel.com is an amazing way to start your year in photography. Contest entries for the Spring round of selection end on July 1, 2009.
