Win an SLR camera & £500 worth of photobox vouchers

Rough Guides have put together a new online game to tie-in with their latest publication- Earthbound: A Rough Guide to the World in Pictures. The online game tests your travel photography knowledge against the clock; look at the photos, guess where they are taken and drag them to the place on the map as quickly as possible. Its not as easy as you might think!

The new Rough Guide book, Earthbound, is a Photographic guide to the world made up of all those great travel photos you’ve seen in the Rough Guides.

What’s pretty cool about this book is each photo has a bar-code you can scan using a bit of software added to your mobile phone (if you’ve got an advanced one that is, unfortunately i haven’t). Once you’ve scanned the photo bar-code into your phone you should be shown the location within Google Maps. All you got to do now is win the competition and get on a plane to recreate the photos!

Enter the competition here, you’ll also be eligible to 40 free prints and 20% of the book, that’s if you can guess where the photos are taken.

    • About Ben’s Backpacking Travel Blog

      The main aim of this travel blog is to share travel experiences and hopefully inspire others to travel. When researching my own travels I always focus on the photos and with that in mind I've tried to place an emphasis on travel photos of my favourite destinations. I've also tried to focus on those places to visit and things to do that are slightly off the beaten track of the normal backpacking trip.

      My blog covers past experiences backpacking around the world and my current travels where so far I've been lucky enough to travel in the South Pacific, Australasia, South East Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
