Media Advisory Panraven, Inc. Make the Most of Your Vacation Photos by Entering the My Summer Story Contest Participants Compete to Win Apple iPhone or Sony Bravia(R) LCD Flat Panel HDTV in Contest Organized by Panraven and Let's Go Publications CAMBRIDGE, MA - (Marketwire - August 2, 2007) - Whether hiking the mountains, lying on the beach or scouring cities around the world, you have a story to tell about the way you spent the summer of 2007. With travel season in full swing, you can take advantage of your vacation pictures taken abroad or close to home by entering the My Summer Story contest. Organized by Panraven and Let's Go Publications, participants are encouraged to create and share their summer vacation stories using the new Panraven service for a chance to win a Sony Bravia� LCD HDTV television, an Apple iPhone and other great prizes. Introduced in June 2007, Panraven (www.panraven.com) lets people create and share rich, powerful multimedia stories online and in print. A story can be about anything, from an African safari to a family barbeque to a simple walk in the woods. Exclusively on Panraven, you can access an extensive library of photos, maps and illustrations -- many accompanied by background facts and information -- to complement your own pictures, thoughts and commentary. Panraven not only allows you to chronicle your own adventures, it also enables groups to work collectively on one master story that contains multiple perspectives of the same experience. A story depicting a family reunion at the beach or a bunch of friends traveling by Eurail can include many people's pictures, thoughts and reflections. Panraven stories can be shared with individuals, groups or the entire Panraven community. Researched and written entirely by students, Let's Go is one of the worldwide leaders in budget travel guides. People can use Let's Go and Panraven in tandem, relying on Let's Go to provide them with tried and true advice on how to get the most out of their vacation budget and on Panraven to preserve their memories in a professionally printed book for a great price. "We are excited to view the contest entries because we know Panraven members and Let's Go customers share a similar passion for getting the most out of life," said Frode Eilertsen, Founder and CEO of Panraven. "We hope this contest marks the beginning of a budding relationship between Panraven and Let's Go. Our services marry the best in travel research and planning with the best way to capture, share and preserve travel memories. And, the synergy between our companies increases as people relay their experiences to others. Panraven stories are personal accounts and reflections that once viewed by others browsing for vacation ideas, will be perceived as more authentic and genuine than information gathered from more traditional sources. And, once Panraven stories sell the destination, Let's Go takes it from there, putting powerful planning tools and resources in the palm of travelers' hands." "The summer marks a busy time of year for vacation planning," stated Jennifer Wong, Publishing Director of Let's Go. "We know that people are taking pictures and are itching to creatively share their experiences with others. We created this contest with Panraven to allow people to do just that and earn the chance to win some great prizes!"
