Hey there Pathfinders!
This month our Instagram round-up’s going to be a little different. We want to see your snaps of our Best in Travel destinations for 2017! If you haven’t seen them, check out the lists here:
Best in Travel countries
Best in Travel cities
Best in Travel regions
Best in Travel value
Share the link for your best Instagram capture below, and you could be featured in our Best in Travel round-up on the Lonely Planet blog!
Please include a short explanation along with the link to give us a little more context about the shot.
Whether your picture was taken abroad on a big trip or somewhere closer to home, your submission shouldn’t just be any old ‘nice shot’. It needs to represent a destination in a way that intrigues us and gets us daydreaming or reaching for our passports.
Please disclose any sponsorships that may be tied to the image, and please ensure you give geographic detail about where the place pictured is. Ideally, the image should not have a white border around it (however, this is not a must).
Images need to be your own, and originally posted any time from January 2014. For your entry to be valid you must be signed up to Lonely Planet Pathfinders. You can post on the thread a maximum of 3 entries for the month. Entries beyond this limit we won't be able to consider.
Here’s an example:
URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/BKNp2ScB841/?taken-by=lonelyplanet
Destination: Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada
Context: Kananaskis is a dream destination for keen kayakers because of its wonderful rapids flowing at high speeds (and beautifully blue water!). When driving from #Calgary airport to the #LakeLouise area in #BanffNationalPark I saw a sign to #Kananaskis and had a bit of spare time so I asked if we could stop and check it out. This is a spot not many people know about and now it’s one of my favourites. I’m so happy that we found it!
Deadline for submissions: Midnight 10 November 2016.
If successful, we will let you know in this thread, and PM you with more details. Successful applicants will be featured in a blog post on lonelyplanet.com. We will link to your Instagram profile and blog in the post.
Good luck and we can't wait to see what you bring us!
