In The Roo Travel Guide and Buy Playa Real Estate Advisors are sponsoring a Trip Report Competition each month through the end of 2010. The best trip report submitted each month will win $100 USD in cash, while a runner up will win $50 USD in cash. 

To be eligible, entries must be posted on the Trip Reports section of the InTheRoo.com forum. Travel must have been completed in 2010, and include destinations within the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Eligible travel locations include the popular travel destinations of Cancun, Isla Mujeres, the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, and the Costa Maya. 

“Everyone loves to read trip reports, whether to live vicariously through other travelers or to help plan future travels. Although writing a trip report takes some effort, the writer is rewarded with a lasting memory of his travels.” said John Bekas, Jr., owner of IntheRoo.com  “Often, we intend to write up a trip report just as soon as we get back home, but then life gets in the way, and the trip report goes on the back burner. We at InTheRoo.com and BuyPlaya.com want to give travelers an incentive to record their trip memories. There's no better incentive than cold hard cash!”

The trip report contest will run through December 31, 2010 with prizes being awarded monthly for the best submissions. Trip reports are evaluated by an impartial judging panel, consisting of residents and seasoned travelers of the state of Quintana Roo. Visit InTheRoo.com for complete details.
