Win A Free Trip to St Kitts with their “Twitter Photo Sweepstakes”

If you’ve been noticing an increase in ads on top of taxi cabs, buses and at newsstand around New York City, that’s because St Kitts in conjunction with American Airlines has launched the St Kitts “Picture Your Presents” Twitter photo sweepstakes.  From now until December 25, 2011 you have the chance to win a free trip to the beautiful island of St Kitts.

That’s two round trip coach class tickets to St. Kitts on American Airlines plus a five-day/four-night stay for two at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort & Royal Beach Casino.

All you have to do is take a picture of one of their ads—preferably with you in it and post it onto Twitter with a tag to @StKittsTourism telling them what you think is so special about St Kitts and why you should win.  It’s that simple!  The only condition is that you probably will have to come to Manhattan to find the displays which are on newsstands, phone booths, taxi cabs and double-decker buses, but they are all over the place.  You don’t need any special camera or equipment, just take out your flip camera, mobile phone or IPAD, snap a picture and start tweeting.  For those of you who can’t make it to Manhattan to snap a photo of one of the ads, you can still enter to win by utilizing one of the three photos of the ads posted at http://twitpic.com/photos/StKittsTourism in your Tweet instead.

Winners will be selected in a random drawing January 2, 2012 with winner notification via Twitter the same day.  Also in the interest of being fair, no duplicates or multiple twitter accounts please. Persons uploading from multiple twitter accounts will be disqualified. The sweepstakes is open to residents of the 48 continental US states who are 18 or over.

Complete rules and regulations are listed at http://www.stkittstourism.kn/nycphoto-sweepstakesrules.php.
