Some say a picture is worth a thousand words, and starting today, it may be worth some really cool prizes too! This week kicks off the 5th annual School Tours of America #MyTourView Photo Contest.

We want to see the most memorable moments from your tour. The ideas of what you can share are limitless: your roommates posing for the perfect selfie in front of a memorial, your tour guide pointing out a famous landmark, or a stunning sunset over the Washington, DC or the New York City skyline. The choice is yours! The more creative the better! Bonus points will be awarded if you include the STA logo or gear (shirt, backpack, etc.) in your pictures.

Prizes:

One First Place and one Runner Up will be awarded for Best Picture/Video from a student or teacher.

• First Place receives a GoPro HERO 7 in White.
• Runner-Up receives a $100 Amazon gift card.
