Travel Tips

"Athenian VTers 'Mardaska' and 'Irine_29' were chosen to capture the flame on Mt Olympus, and begin the delivery to the games."

Speaking of passing torches, as much as I am enjoying this forum I've run out of time. Frankcanfly is now in charge. Thanks for stepping up Frank! Have a blast!

The VTav was such a success that I have to try another one. The Olympics are right around the corner! Let's just see how this goes...

Calling all photoshop and photo editing experts (or novices)! For the next three days I'm hosting a competition of sorts.

Here's the challenge! You must use someone's VT "passport" photo (or part of) and edit it into a photo in the theme of the Olympics.

I haven't narrowed down all of the categories, but will refine it as I go and post them (only 8 pictures to a travelogue, so there can only be 8 categories). If you have a suggestion please feel free to send them my way. I will begin with:

- Most original
- Most disturbing/controversial (please don't get too carried away here)
- Best weight lifting
- Fastest runner
- Best swimmer

Judges: I will not hold more than one vote (no overruling, myself included). Cynthia_Maria and I are the only judges at the moment. Anyone who submits a picture, or has a picture of them submitted cannot be a judge. If you are interested in being a judge, please let me know and promise to be fair and unbiased. There will be know more than 5 judges (if you have photo editing skills please participate, don't apply).

What? Can't post pictures on the forum? Yes I thought of that too... I'm going to ask you to "waste" your own travelogue space to submit a picture ; )

Just include a link to your new picture in the forum. As time allows (I have a real job too...) I will add them to the VT Olympics travelogue:

Ok Nat, now that i'm done shooting beer out of my nose from laughing so hard. You may want to watch out for revenge from Berni
