“Shoot for the Stars” Winners Announced by Global Connections

– Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) has selected exceptional photos from nearly 1000 entries in its 12^th Annual “Shoot for the Stars” Contest.

Travel industry leader GCI offers the members of its Global Discovery Vacations (GDV) club program a wide variety of leisure benefits and vacation options. Member contests such as Shoot for the Stars continue to grow in popularity among GDV’s 75,000+ active members.

 

 

 

 

First, second and third prizes were awarded in each of the three categories: Wild and Fun, Family & Friends, and Landscape. In total, prizes were valued at more than $3,000 overall.

“Another year, another amazing collection of photos from GDV members,” said Melanie Gring, GCI’s VP/Strategic Alliances. “Our members shared their memories from worldwide travels and it was a tough decision to limit our winners to only nine images.”

“It really is exciting to see all the places and activities our members experienced on their vacation,” she continued.  “We’re particularly fortunate these photos are so great because we use them in member collateral materials, on the website, and in testimonials.”

All the winning photos are posted on Facebook and the GDV Blog.  Pictured below are the winners in each category.

First place contest winners were awarded a $500 Global Connections Inc. vacation credit, good towards condos, cruises, tours and more.  Each second- place winner received a free activity fee and the prize for third place winners was a one–bedroom “Expressway” condo vacation.

The Executive’s Choice Award winner had the option to select from any of the three prizes offered and this year’s winner– for their photo taken on the beach in Hawaii–selected the $500 vacation credit.
