#WTMAfricaConnect Photo Competition

.

In addition to these panels and presentations, we are once again collaborating with WTM Africa to organise and manage a photo contest for bloggers/influencers to take part in. This year we’re asking bloggers and influencers to share a photo from WTM Africa itself.

To enter the competiton, bloggers and influencers simply need to take a photo at one of the stands at WTM featuring a favourite or dream travel experience or destination, and how they connect with it. Upload the photo to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #WTMAfricaConnect. The contest runs from 10th April (9am) till 12th April (noon).

Prizes include a two-night stay for two persons in the Honeymoon Treetops suite at Teniqua Treetops in the Knysna Forest, a two-night stay for two persons (including Full English Breakfast) at Kelway Hotel and a two-night stay for two persons (including three meals) at the Hanglip Mountain Lodge. These prizes will be awarded to those sharing the quirkiest or most original photos with the presentation of the prizes taking place during an informal event in the Speakers Corner at WTM Africa on Friday, 12 April 2019 at 14:30.

Do let us know if you’re also heading to WTM Africa as we’d love to see you and your photos for the #WTMAfricaConnect competition too!
