1. The Twitter Contest is on hiatus until 2010. Happy Holidays!

    Here's How the Game Works:


    1. 1. Each week, @trazzler on Twitter and Trazzler on Facebook will post a link to a trip that is missing the title.
    2. 2. Read the trip and carefully examine the photo. We want you to give the trip a title.
    3. 3. Title Format: All trip titles should actively place the reader in the moment (being, doing, feeling…). The title should set the scene for the copy in 68 characters or less (spaces count: you can use this character counter to check the length). We strive to always include the city and state for US-based trips and the city and country for all other trips. Examples:
      -->Learning to Sail (and Love Your Fellow Man), Les Glénans, France
      -->Catching Up With Alexander the Prisoner, Not the Great in Yazd, Iran
      -->Succombing to the Wiles of Furry Beggars in Villahermosa, Mexico
    4. 4. The deadline for submitting your title is Thursday at 4 pm EST (9pm GMT).
    5. 5. We'll read all of the submissions and choose the one that we feel best captures the spirit of the trip. At 5pm on Thursday, we'll announce the winning title on Twitter and Facebook. The writer of the best title will win a 2-night Fairmont Hotels & Resorts award certificate redeemable at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts in the continental United States and Canada, excluding The Plaza in New York City. The correct format for the Tweet or Facebook Wall Comment follows below:
