“With the amazing photographic abilities of cell phones, people are taking more and higher quality pictures than ever before. Our very popular photo contests can turn those pictures into cash. These contests are a proven way for us to keep in contact with the public and for them to share the many wonderful things in Pennsylvania’s Great Outdoors region through their eyes,” said John Straitiff-Executive Director, PA Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau.

The PA Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau is a membership-based travel promotion organization serving five counties in Northwest Pennsylvania: Jefferson, Elk, Clarion, Forest and Cameron.

The mission of the Pennsylvania Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau is to develop and initiate programs and marketing strategies with the specific intent of increasing overnight travel-related expenditures within its designated region and to create a cooperative effort to increase awareness of this region as an ultimate vacation destination.
