Here’s a toast to all of our photo submissions for our Candid Tourist contest. You’re all shooting stars to us! (And, we don’t say that to just anyone).

The theme for our February contest is LOCALS. Show-off an image that captures the spirit of the locals of any U.S. destination.

One photographer will win $1000 in cash and prizes at the end of this month. Leave a comment about one of the photos (make sure to reference which photo it is), and the image with the most comments by February 28 WINS!

Entry #1: Dogs in Sedona by RJ Wachal

Calling all traveling shutterbugs! We know you love to capture all the once-in-a-lifetime moments when you explore a new place, whether it’s of hysterical mishaps, beautiful landscapes, the locals, the architecture, the activities, or even other tourists. Now, we’re letting you show your money shots to the world, and get some major bucks/travel perks for it!

Every month, we’ll announce a photo theme. (See below to see the theme for February 2011). Send us your favorite candid photo that matches that theme – photos can be spontaneously goofy, collectively cool, downright charming, utterly thought-provoking – along with a caption and location where the photo was taken.

We’ll post all photo entries to our blog and whichever photo inspires the most comments, wins $1,000 in cash and/or hotel package gift certificates! The winning entry will also be displayed on GetawayPackages.com and on our Facebook page.
