Winners Announced! April 29th, 2017
|
The winner of this year's photo contest is.... (Drumroll please)...
BRIANNA in the GOBI DESERT, MONGOLIA. We asked for far flung, obscure and/or simply amazing location and after going through the 2017 entries we had quite the challenge in choosing just one grand prize winner. Finally, the Woods Hole Inn staff had came to a decision. We felt Brianna's picture on the Khongor Sand Dunes in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia was worthy of the 2017 winning title and a free two night stay here at the Woods Hole Inn!* With so many amazing entries this year it was hard to choose just one winner, so we decided to pick two more! Staff choice runner-up prizes goes to Julian at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland and Femke on the Alps in France. Both Runner-up winners will receive a $100 gift certificate to the Woods Hole Inn. Now for the voting results: This was a nail-biter folks, as there were a few entries fighting for top of the leader board. But the one to claim the title of 2017 PEOPLE'S CHOICE is.... KEN & LIZ at LOUGHE ESKE CASTLE COUNTY DONEGAL, IRELAND The people have spoken and chose Ken & Liz to win a free night at the Woods Hole Inn, plus a $50 gift certificate to either one of our farm-to-table restaurants, the Quicks Hole Tavern or Quicks Hole Taqueria.* Congrats to the winners! Thanks to all for participating...we had as much fun as you did, following your travels all over the globe. The voting for the 2017 contest is now closed. All entries received post April 1, 2017 will be part of the 2018 Photo Contest! * Some restrictions apply: Based on availability, once booked all cancellation policies apply, must be used before April 2018, all other Woods Hole Inn policies apply, see website for details.
