Win a Weekend Stay in Mendocino
From its charming coastal New England-style village to its forests of towering Redwoods, Mendocino County is a Northern California destination that combines the sea, the wilderness, romance, and outdoor adventure. The region is a playground for beachcombers and nature enthusiasts: there’s Van Damme State Park and Glass Beach, and sophisticated getaways from its quaint inns along the coast to its artisanal wineries.
If you’ve passed through Mendocino County, we’re certain you have visited an attraction—a bed & breakfast, a secret cove, an annual festival, a foodie spot— that you hope to return to someday. And, if you live here, we know you have a regular hangout, a hidden local spot on the coast, or a favorite family winery that you can’t wait to share.
Now is your chance to write about these places in Mendocino County. We’ve partnered with Visit Mendocino County for our newest regional writing contest: the Mendocino Writing Contest. Our Mendocino County sponsors have put together an assortment of prizes:
People’s Choice Grand Prize: A weekend stay and tango workshop at Weller House Inn and dinner for two at Ravens’ Restaurant, an award-winning vegetarian foodie spot. (Alcohol and gratuities are not included.)
People’s Choice Runner-Up Prize: A $100 gift certificate for MacCallum House Restaurant and two magnum bottles of Syrah from Meyer Family Cellars.
People’s Choice 2nd Runner-Up Prize: Two passes to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and two bottles of Pinot Noir from Barra of Mendocino.
Note: Proof of age is required to claim prizes of alcohol.
Editors’ Choice Prize(s): Trazzler will also award a $250 freelance writing contract to contest entrant(s) to write more trips about Mendocino County.
Want to enter? Visit the contest page and “Enter Now.” You’ve got until September 20, 2010. We look forward to reading your entries…
