PARSIPPANY, NJ — (Marketwire) — 11/16/09 — Women on Their Way by Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE: WYN), the hospitality industry’s longest-running branded program dedicated entirely to female travelers, is kicking off The Local Nation travel writing contest to find ten adventurous individuals who feel that they could represent their fellow travelers on the newly formed Sounding Board and to shape the future of WomenOnTheirWay.com.
Starting on November 11, 2009, the Local Nation contest by Wyndham Worldwide invites participants to enter their essays of 350 words or less, plus a photo or video on why they should be selected. All entries will be posted on www.WomenOnTheirWay.com with a voting process starting on January 4, 2010. Entrants may share their entry with their social networks in hopes of securing “thumbs up” votes. The top ten entries, as decided by a combination of WOTW Judges’ scores and the results of online voting, will then be named to the Sounding Board. All winners will be announced by February 15, 2010 and posted on the Women on Their Way website.
“The Sounding Board is a win-win both for Women on Their Way and Wyndham Worldwide,” states Alyson Johnson, director of marketing communications and writer of the WOTW blog, Adventures with Alyson. “The Local Nation will feature blog entries, pictures and fun videos of the contest winners and their vacations at various hotels, rentals and/or timeshare properties within the Wyndham Worldwide family of brands, while the contest winners will provide Wyndham Worldwide feedback on programs and properties. That ‘local knowledge’ will also help to shape the future of the Women on Their Way website, www.WomenOnTheirWay.com.”
