Welcome to USTOA’s first Groupie Social Media Contest
which will run in two parts
August 8 – 12 and August 15 – 19, 2016


We welcome group photos of people traveling together, to places far and wide, in groups of two or more. Photos that give you a sense of place, preferably with a landmark in the background, are what we’re looking for.

The Groupie Social Media Contest Weekly Entry Periods will begin at 8:00 a.m. EST on August 8th, 2016 and end at 4:59 p.m. EST on August 12th, 2016 and begin at 8:00 a.m. EST on August 15th, 2016 and end at 4:59 p.m. on August 19th, 2016. No entries will be accepted during the period between the Weekly Entry Periods.

There are several ways to submit your photo to be eligible to win the grand prize of an American Express Gift Card in the amount of $500, per week. Submit your photo through Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, using the tag #TravelTogether.

So go on, share the joy of group travel with us! Here are some of the top photos from the week, and the grand prize winner will be judged by AFAR Magazine.
