The Carey Adventures has teamed up with MatadorU to offer their Travel Photography Program, a self paced 12 week course, worth $350 to one lucky winner.
To be in with a chance all you have to do is leave a comment over at The Carey Adventures by 9:00pm PDT Monday 6th June, 2011.
The winner will be chosen by a random draw.
The rules for entering...
"Anyone worldwide may enter as long as they are legally able to win such a prize in their country. One entry per person. Only actual humans can enter. The drawing will be held on, or about, Monday the June 6th. I will use Random.org to pick a winner based on the order of entry. Deadline to enter is Monday, June 6th, 2011 at 9:00pm PDT. MatadorU is not directly affiliated with the drawing, they are just the prize. the prize is tuition for 1 (one) person and I will be putting you in contact with MatadorU for claiming of the prize. Make sure your email address in the comment below is valid, otherwise, if your mail bounces and I can’t get a hold of you any other way, I will award the prize to another random commenter.
To enter, do one good thing for someone else, without them asking you to do it, and then leave a comment below. The comment need not be about the good thing you did at all. And the level of goodness does not matter as it’s a random drawing. I just think I should use this pulpit to force you to be nice."
