Second place winner Deniz will get the travel book or DVD of her choice and Luis, Steve, and Tighe have Cabin Cuddlers coming their way. Jim Levings was kind enough to provide 3 Cabin Cuddlers for the contest so please do check out CabinCuddler.com.

Priyank, you can choose from any of the books I’ve reviewed (one more coming up next week) and Ryan will receive a $25 Travelocity hotel gift card.

Dave and Heather I thought your pictures were great and extremely cheesy so I’ve got two $10 Amazon gift cards for you both. Finally, @What_Boundaries won the random subscriber prize – a 4-pack of ultimate sporks.

Thank you everyone for participating and sharing your very cheesy travel photos with us. As I mentioned last week, there will be a part 2 to the contest this winter and I’ll announce the details sometime in November. Keep taking those cheesy pictures!

    You are way too kind to us. But thank you for making winners out of us all! It is awesome that Shannon won and I know that the Europe leg of her trip is definitely the most costly, so that $150 will come in handy I am sure! Congrats everyone for your great photos. I enjoyed looking at everyone’s shots.

  2. Shannon OD says:

    Thanks for the running this contest Anil. It was a lot of fun and I loved seeing all of the cheese-tastic pictures all week long.

    @Dave and Deb – You are right about the Europe leg, sure will come in handy :-) And I stand by my love for the cheese of Dave on that camel – it was a riot.

    • Anil P. says:

      Thanks Shannon, your picture was cheesy-great, congratulations again. I’m glad that there are so many of us who embrace the cheesy travel photo – we all have them!

  3. Deniz says:

    Thanks Anil! I loved all of the pictures and I can’t wait for the next contest. :)

  4. Priyank says:

    Hi Anil,
    The contest was really good… congrats, Shanon! and congrats to everyone else too. You are very generous indeed! I’ll let you know the book.

  5. Gourmantic says:

    That was a fun series. :) Thank you for hosting it and look forward to the next one. Not that I can enter without showing my face!

    • Anil P. says:

      I know that requirement holds a lot of people back. I’ll also have writing and other photo contests without that requirement in the future :)

  6. Daniel says:

    Congratulations, Anil — thanks for putting this together! It was fun to check out the entries and vote, as well. Good job!
