Cool shades for a hot vacation!

Cool shades for a hot vacation!

SunglassWarehouse.com is sponsoring an amazing travel contest to celebrate their 7th birthday. They are giving away a vacation package worth $3,000. And unlike most contests with a high “value” prize, this one actually includes cash to spend on travel arrangements.

Even better? You get to pick exactly how you want to spend it!

The winner of the contest will receive $2,500 to spend on airfare, hotel and services — did someone say mini-bar? He or she will also have a sweet $300 to spend on food, souvenirs or to use for generous tips.

In addition to the travel funds, the winner also receives an “essential vacation accessories” package that includes four pair of sunglasses, a beach tote, two bottles of sunscreen, and two beach towels.

It sounds too good to be true, but really it’s incredibly smart. For relatively little money, SunglassWarehouse.com will get loads of people to check out their site, and they are guaranteed to have a very happy winner. No whining about the hotel, because the winner gets to pick their favorite resort on Maui.

There are even ways to “earn” more than one entry, like by blogging or twittering about the contest, or joining their Facebook page. So go enter before February 16th, and if you win, come back to UpTake to plan your vacation!
