How many entered the RC & Me Photo and Essay Contest?

[AlisonoftheSeas]

I had such a good idea and forgot to enter! I was going to take a picture of me at my desk. I have past cruise pictures and crown and anchor magazines pinned up all over the place reminding me why I am working so hard in school. So that I can get an awesome job that will allow me to cruise as often as possible. Unfortunatly, things got sooo busy at school that I forgot to send it in.:mad:

You guys are so creative. I submitted a pic of my DH with the C & A

I thought the rules stated that the photo had to be of the entrant?

 

All of these ideas were great! I think RCCL is going to have a tough time deciding. :eek: I can't decide on my favorite, but that poem was really cute!

 

Driftwoodgal - I also have a fondess for your photo with the dogs. ;)

BTW- I was wondering if I could ask you a question about kennels? I feel that we just had a bad experience with our local kennel this past weekend and I would like to ask your opinion.

Well it looks like the winners will be selected on or about June 6 which is today and will be notified by telephone and overnight mail. Let's all keep our fingers crossed!!! If you hear anything....we want to be the 2nd to hear about it!!

[Iamthesea]

Any word yet?

[Iamthesea]

Looks like we have a while to wait before being informed of the winner.

Hundreds of entries, but only one match.

(And a few runners-up.) Stay tuned for the final results.

 

The request for entries in the Royal Caribbean & Me Contest closed as of June 1, so judging is currently underway. And while we received many eligible photos and essays that capture adventure with the Crown & Anchor magazine, there can only be one grand-prize winner and a few runners-up. Stay tuned to see who won these fabulous prizes:

 

One 7-night cruise for two aboard Freedom of the Seas One 7-night Caribbean cruise for two One 5-night Caribbean cruise for two One 3-night Bahamas or Mexican Baja cruise for two

 

Be sure to check back at the end of August when we reveal the winners of the Royal Caribbean & Me Contest.

Has anyone been contacted by RCCL regarding this contest? Am I out of luck or is there still a chance I'll get that phone call letting me know I won? :)

[MCazer]

I was wondering the same thing. Although the previous post says END OF AUGUST, so you never know!

 

Hope I win!

[Iamthesea]

No win for me yet! :rolleyes:

 

Wouldn't it be great if we all won something! :D

 

My guess is that the winners have already been notified (we didn't win :( ) and the announcement will be made in the upcoming Crown & Anchor magazine.

[Diva Onboard]

We are anxiously waiting to hear the big news too. We entered the photo and essay contest. Sure hope we win something.

 

Royal Caribbean ran another contest simultaneously on their general website. It was just "sign up to win". We have not heard anything about either contest.

Go to the RCCL Crown and Anchor Contest section for a view of the winners:

The "picture" of the first prize winner sounds familiar, hope it was one of you!!!

 

Sorry Murphy :(

I just took a look at the winners. I wasn't a winner either and neither was Travelgrrl or any of us. :(

 

Travelgrrl and Murphy's idea was similar to the 1st prize, and I think they both sounded more colorful. The photo of the first place wasn't very good in quality, although a very clever idea to build a cruiseship out of snow (you just can't see it very well.) Third place was very funny, however once again, the clarity of the photo was lacking.

 

I don't understand it...our ideas were so much better than most of the winners, The Grand Prize winner was pretty good. Considering she is over in Iraq fighting for our country, she deserves to have a family reunion on the Freedom.

 

I think we should all post our photo's now. I'll have to hunt mine and post later (which BTW was very similar to the 2nd place winner.) The problem must have been my essay. :o

[Diva Onboard]

I would love to post our entries here. Can someone guide me on how to post a photo?

 

 

By the by - what ever happened to the other Freedom contest - the one where you just signed up on the Royal Caribbean website. That one only required filling out an entry form online.

[Iamthesea]

Hit the reply button, then go down to "Additional Options ", then go to "Manage Attachments", click on that and follow directions.

 

If your file is too big, then resize it using either a photo program or Paint on your computer. You may want to make a saved copy of your photo first.

 

I think I will post my picture to a web site so that it shows up larger. The detail is hard to see when the size is reduced.

[Diva Onboard]

Thanks for your help Iamthesea.

 

I'm going to attach our entries tonight.

[love2vacation]

I was bummed that none of us won.:(

 

I think our ideas were so similar, I can't imagine how they chose the winners.

I will post mine sometime tonight.

 

Maybe next year one of us will win?????

Here is a link to what I sent in. I thought it was cute! I drew this for my son's 7th Birthday. Can you guess it was a Shark theme? LOL

Oh my cruise! Margaret that is a great photo! :D I don't understand why you didn't win something.

 

Here is a link to mine. It's called "Dreaming." If you have to use a password, use Iamthesea. Just click on photo to enlarge.

[MCazer]

Iamthesea, That was so good! I don't get it, I think ours are much better than third place, and probably second place too!

[Boxer_Mom]

What was RCI thinking??????

 

Y'alls photos are totally awesome!! I agree the Grand Prize is great but y'all SOOOO should have won something!!

My goodness,, they are MUCH MUCH better than what did win 1st and 2nd!!!

[Iamthesea]

Thanks so much! I guess Royal has their reasons. :(
