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!

My name is Anil, a traveler and travel enthusiast. I created foXnoMad to connect with other travelers, discover their world, and share what I’ve learned about mine.

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.
It was a fun contest and the camel was classic
At least exchange rates are better, will be more than just change for Shannon
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.
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!
Thanks Anil! I loved all of the pictures and I can’t wait for the next contest.
Hope to see your other cheesy travel photos there again this winter (along with everyone else!)
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.
I’m glad everyone was able to walk away with something
Thanks for entering your wonderfully cheesy picture!
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!
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
Congratulations, Anil — thanks for putting this together! It was fun to check out the entries and vote, as well. Good job!
Thanks Daniel!
Congrats to all. And to you too, Anil for putting up this show.
