Travel Contest 2012 Video
– CONTEST IS OVER – 5th FEB 2012 –

Please Take Note:

  • I noticed a few people uploading just any pictures. Please take note that the picture should have something that resembles the letter “X”. See Examples of Uploaded X Pictures.  
  • Stock photos from Google or any other photo site are prohibited and will be disqualified. The pictures must be your own.
  • Altered pictures (using photoshop or any other editing tool) to enhance the X are not allowed. You can sharpen and contrast the picture but putting in an “X” is disallowed. 
  • You are allowed a maximum of Five (5) pictures to be uploaded. 
  • Any pictures that do not meet the above will be removed.  
Final Check:
  • For step #4, you have to “RENAME” your uploaded “X” image to your EMAIL ID – Example: johnsmithATgmailDOTcom.jpg. 
  • Do NOT rename johnsmith@gmail.com.jpg, as it will NOT register.
  • Images without the correct email id will be disqualified as we do not know who the image belongs to. 
  • Once you submit your “X” picture, you will see it there in the widget. You are done!
  • No nudity, racial, religious, derogatory or
    discriminating pictures. 
*Some tips:  You can go through some of your old photos to see if there are any that resemble an “X.”

Visiting Tokyo and Osaka, Japan

Many people dream of visiting one of the most fascinating
and interesting cities in the world, and now you are given a chance to do

Tokyo and Osaka are rated as Japan’s first and second largest cities with a fast thriving metropolis lifestyle. The culture alone is amazing, where modern technology blends with historical sites and traditions.

For those who have yet to visit Tokyo and Osaka, some graphic pictures show you some of the attractions found in these two major Japanese cities.

Tokyo is known for the incredibly fast-moving Japanese lifestyle, while everything related to Japan can be found here.

Cath, as it did not say how many, the organisers have now decided on each entry will be allowed FIVE (5) pictures. Anything more than that will not be included.

Also, the pictures need to be your OWN photographs. Any stock footage will not be eligible.

Dear David,

i have been participating since day 1 and i have uploaded more than 5 pictures already 🙁 just saw that a max of 5 is allowed…Is the five effective from today or will all my previous pictures not count? 🙁 Please do let me know…I have been hunting for "x factor' images daily and it would be sad to see the pictures i submit being ineligible 🙁

Hope to hear from you soon…have a nice day ahead…God bless!! 🙂

comments user
Malaysia Asia

Hello Melvin, thanks for the message. Yes, they will count. The images have to be your own ones too and not taken from the web because those are not eligible.

comments user
Melvin Paul

Dear David,

Thanks for the swift response 🙂 Im glad they will count…and yes…all my photos were taken with my camera or my phone 😉 Btw, does that mean i cannot submit anymore images? How does the 5 pictures criteria work? Will the system automatically block any images uploaded from the same email add after 5 uploads?

Additionally, will you a create a album of the shortlisted entries at the close of the comepetion (before announcing the winners)? This will surely keep the participants excited/tensed before the announcement of the winners..Just my 2 cents :p

Sorry for so many questions…I just want to make sure i dun break any of the rules 🙂

Have a nice day ahead! God bless..

comments user
Malaysia Asia

Melvin, you're right, the shortlisted ones that qualify are uploaded to the facebook page. There have been hundreds of pictures submitted but they go through a screening process too. So all those pictures with no "X" in them will not make it into the shortlist.

Good luck and thank you for your support.

comments user
Melvin Paul

Whoa…kewl…hope my pics make it to the Facebook page (but i recall some comment on FB saying that they are only examples and not all the shortlisted ones are posted)http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/media/set/?set=a.355050684521304.103402.346352888724417&type=1
