AvaxHome presents: Contest for the best picture
“Unvisited places by tourists in your country”




Attention! AvaxHome.ws is happy to announce a contest for the best picture – the theme is “Unvisited places by tourists in your country”.

This contest is open to everyone, that is in case he or she agree to the rules of conduct.

Let me describe the following scenario for you – imagine you are a tourist guide which has to impress a group of tourists that have seen and done it all, and that same group is coming to your town. These tourists seen the Liberty Statue in USA, an Eiffel Tower in Paris, Moscow's Red Square in addition to pyramids in Egypt, the Parthenon in Greece, Stonehenge in England, and much much more. In another words, they probably will not be interested, to say the least, in what local tourist guides will have to offer.

However, each and every place on our planet has its own special hidden places where no tourist has ever visited and is known to local residents only. It could be anything, for example beautifully decorated night club, or it might be a pub where you love to hang out; an amazing view from the top of the roof, a secret path known to you and your friends alone; abandoned missile silo or mysterious coral reef cave, a rural cemetery with old church ruins – basically any building, structure or place which YOU WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SHOW EVERYONE ELSE first of all, and SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTING TO LOOK AT second of all. And please remember (this is very important!) that this place should not in any case be a well-known landmark that is included in all tourist guides and routes. It would be greatly appreciated if in addition to picture description, you would attach the exact address of the places shown in your picture (this is not mandatory but this information would really help).

To participate you must take 4 following steps:

1) try to remember if there is an unfamiliar but quite interesting place in your area

2) visit this place and take a few pictures

3) choose the best one, give an extensive description (where is this place located, what do you know about it, what makes it special in your opinion and so on – the more interesting and complete description your picture gets, the better)

4) send these pictures and its descriptions to the following e-mail photo@avaxhome.ws, and wish yourself a good luck.
