New AVA Contest - Where’s Ava?
For the next year, AVA will sponsor a new contest. Each issue of The American Wanderer will have a picture of someone from the back wearing the AVA Jacket somewhere in the world. Readers guess where the picture was taken. For each issue a free AVA Jacket will be awarded to someone, selected from among the pool of all correct entries submitted for that issue of TAW.
Here are the rules: To submit a Photo: Photos must show a person in the foreground, wearing an AVA jacket with the logo on the back facing the camera. In the background the photo should show a recognizable landmark. Send photo submissions by postal mail to AVA (AVA, Attn: Jackie, 1001 Pat Booker Rd, Suite 101, Universal City, TX 78148) or email (avahq@ava.org). Include the name of the photographer, name of jacket wearer, city (and state if in the US) and country where the photo was taken and a brief description of the landmark. Don’t make it too easy – no city names in the photo, nothing too obvious (like in front of the Statue of Liberty), but don’t make it too hard either (no pictures in your back yard). Photos must be clear and printable as well. Submitted photos will not be returned and will be kept by AVA for future promotions.
To enter the Contest: Send a postcard (no emails, no letters) to AVA, (Attn: Jackie, 1001 Pat Booker Rd, Suite 101, Universal City, TX 78148). Include on the postcard:
your name and address, the month of the TAW issue the photo was in, and your guess of the city and country where the photo was taken. Postcards must be postmarked by the end of the first month of the TAW issue, for example for the October/November issue, entries are due by October 31.
National Executive Council members, AVA Headquarters employees and The American Wanderer staff are not eligible for the contest. Winners of the jackets and the names of both photographer and subject (the jacket wearer) will be listed in the next TAW.
