Only one photo per person will be accepted, so choose wisely!

    How strange/ironic that you have to be a resident of the USA or Canada to enter a competition promoting the joys of visiting Nevada. I visited from the UK this summer and would love to enter. Perhaps you should reconsider this odd little rule.

    AS A BEST WESTERN USER I THINK THAT CONTEST SUCH AS THIS OPEN UP THE WORLD TO THE AVERAGE HOTEL STAYER AND COMMEND YOUR USE OF PICTURES TAKEN BY THE NONPROFESSIONALS.

    I agree with fellow traveller "Jones" regarding the "odd little rule" of having to be a resident of only Canada or the Us to ener a competition promoting the joys of visiting Nevada. Are not Best Western patrons found world wide? Perhaps this was an oversite on your part.

    Having noted the above, I would like to see your contest idea is a great one! In the future, it would be a wonderful idea to open up a world wide photo contest so that patrons could enter no matter where they have stayed.

    Best of luck with your future promotions. We continue to enjoy our Best Western experience.

    You refused to honor my reservation concellation of 918505979. I became Ill and couldnt travel. My parking reservation was cancelled, my automobile reservation was cancelled, my flight was cancelled. Only you in this chain refused. So take me off your mailing list and I will deal with other motel companies that take service
    more seriously..Sylvester Smith

    Thank you for the feedback!

    While this promotion was a North American sponsored contest we do acknowledge the demand for a more broad entry base. We will take your suggestions and hope to create a more globally, world-wide themed contest in the future. Keep visiting the blog and thanks again for your support and comments!

    Hi Sylvester,

    Sorry to hear about your experience and the fact you had to cancel your trip, we know how frustrating that can be. While each hotel is individually owned and operated, we would still like to follow up with you and the hotel regarding this matter. Can you please email us complete details (dates of your reservation, your contact info, all action management took, etc.) to ecommerce@bestwestern.com? Thanks.

    How come you dont show the winning photos in your contests???It makes us think that you dont give recogninition to the winners and/or dont award the prizes.

    Also why didnt you allow photos that people sent in of the vegas strip??Vegas strip and all its lights and glamour is one of the major reasons people come to Nevada but yet you didnt allow photos of the strip in your contest.Thanks for your help. Looking forward to the next destination contest

    We post publicly the winners and number of the winning photo so long as we receive permission to do so from the winner. We are currently selecting the winner for the Nevada Photo Contest and will announce the winner here in the comments after we receive confirmation.

    You can view all submitted photos on our Flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/35123312@N04/sets/72157630974200508/. We allowed photos of the Vegas strip. If any photos were not pushed live, it was either because of the lack of contact information or questionable content. Thanks for participating and showing an interest in our photo contest!

    Ok so who won you havent posted any contest winners from Hawaii to Nevada to the Summer photo contest-what is up with that???
    I will bet you dont even have winners that you wont post any winners any where The Hawaiii was over months and months ago and still no winner-makes it looks like a shady contest-so whats up Best Western????

    By Best Western on September 12, 2012 10:52 AM

    Hi Tom,

    We are currently in the process of notifying the winners of the Nevada and Summer Photo Contests, once they are notified we will then post the winners on the blog.

    Thanks.

    Hi Shelly,

    The winner of the Summer Photo Contest was posted last week in the comments section of that blog.

    The winner of the Hawaii contest was shared across Best Western Facebook and Twitter, but has since been updated in that blog's comments section.

    Thanks!
