Congratulations to the 2011 Photo Contest Winners!
Our website gallery is full, memories were created, and photographs are frozen in time; the 2011 TAN Photo Contest has come to an end. After an overwhelming amount of submissions, the time has finally come to select the winners. We had some great photos this year and would like to point out some of the best ones; “Family Portraits,” “Thrillseekers,” “Lovin’ our Gulf Shores,” and “The Best Times are Spent With Family.” It was hard to choose only three, but the decisions have been made and the fantastic prizes have been awarded to the lucky winners!
First place winners were provided airfare for two up to $1,000 and one week’s accommodations at any Travel Advantage Network location! Second place winners received two free Excess Inventory weeks of their choice and third place winners were given one free Excess Inventory week of their choice. All submissions were winners in our book, next summer (2012) we’ll be at it again looking for creative, action shots so stay tuned!
1st Place: Perfect End to a Perfect Week
Submitted by: Jackie Kuzminski
TAN Traveler since: 2009
DesTANation: Myrtle Beach Resort, Myrtle Beach South Carolina
Background Story: “We went to the Myrtle Beach Resort in June 2011 with our family of four, my 17 yr old cousin, and friends of ours with their kids. This was our second time to this resort with TAN and we like it a lot! The kids love the kiddie pools and lazy river, and we like that the property is oceanfront. This picture was taken the last day of our trip and we were trying to soak up our last hours of beach time! My 5 yr old son Peyton is on my cousin Vince’s shoulders, and my 3 yr old son Pierce is on my husband Kelly’s shoulders. They were playing around on the shore for a while and I snapped this photo while they were heading out to the waves for one last dip in the ocean. It was the perfect end to a perfect week in the warm Carolina sun!”
2nd Place: Utah Hummer Tour ‘Hells Revenge’ On 2 Wheels

3rd Place: Fun Day at the Beach
Submitted by: Chad Partridge
TAN Traveler since: 2008
DesTANation: Bethany Bay, Bethany Beach, Delaware
Background Story: “Bethany Bay, Delaware 2011 with a 1, 2, 3 and 4 year old boys. After digging a big hole to try to entertain the boys they jumped in and were soon trapped when all of the sand was pushed back on top of them. Luckily the youngest was the smartest and steered clear of the trap so he could feed his brother and cousins.”
