Saturday, October 31, 2015

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED... • Using packs of hungry dogs to hunt for frozen mammoth carcasses in Siberia? • experiencing the gutsy, incredibly effing painful or just plain trippy Initiation Rites of the Ni-Vanuatu, Sateré-Mawé, or Bwiti first hand? • Hiking Huashan, the most dangerous hike in the world? • sipping on Korean sh#t wine? • tracking Pablo Escobar's escaped Hippos? • taking a little jaunt to Sealand to make an important delivery? • using cave mapping tools to unlock Odessa's potential? ...BECAUSE WE HAVE Kartograff is the world’s first O2O (Online-To-Offline) adventure travel contest platform built around a simple, Reddit-inspired community-driven game, and our prizes are awesome, game-changing & life-affirming real world global adventures paid in full. If you’re an adventurer, photographer, experience junkie, writer, blogger, armchair anthropologist or just love traveling, Kartograff is for you. Here’s how it works: 1. We curate unique adventures & experiences and upload them as adventure contests at www.kartograff.com 2. Members sign up for these limited-space contests by uploading their Pitch, which is very similar to a blog or Facebook post. Pitches are compelling stories, and are meant to show the world that you deserve to win. 3. During the timed, weeklong contest period Kartograff members upvote, downvote and comment upon contest Pitches with the winner determined by most upvotes, least downvotes, and best commentary. Our goal is to reward great storytellers with a conscientious mindset. Our system is one of positivity, trolls are not welcomed. 4. The winner enjoys their adventure, and has the option of producing a short "documentary" of their trip, which we'll host on Kartograff.com, bringing the process full circle. We're running our Open Beta soon, so head on over to www.kartograff.com to find out how to sign-up (free!), play & win.
