Junior Explorers

Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic invites its young cruisers to document their experiences in 2014, in the name of exploration and education. Kids ages 8-17 can create and submit Powerpoint journals of their cruise for prizes. Nine winners in all (one per age category) will win a two-day cruise in the Pacific Northwest onboard the National Geographic Sea Lion, departing from Seattle. The prize includes meals, transportation and double occupancy accommodations, plus roundtrip airfare for each winner and his or her parent or guardian. All contestants will receive a Lindblad-National Geographic T-shirt and a certificate of participation. The age groups for prizes are 8-10; 11-13 and 14-17. The contest runs throughout the year, and contest winners will be selected in February 2015. www.youngexplorerchallenge.com
