Pro-bloggers it’s time to dig in your heels and come up with something REALLY compelling if you want to get to go to an all expense paid trip to Antarctica. Quark Expeditions has a contest for bloggers with the prize at stake being a spot at a real Antarctica expedition. Here’s what they said in their site.

“Quark Expeditions is searching for an Official Blogger to join a voyage to Antarctica. Do you have a passion for the polar regions? A commitment to the environment? An insatiable urge to photograph penguins?

Post your entry and tell the world why you should be our blogger. Be creative! On September 30, 2009, the entrant with the most number of votes will be selected as the winner.

The Official Quark Blogger will travel with a guest to Antarctica in February 2010 and blog about their experience, chronicling the action, the emotion, and the drama as their polar adventure unfolds.”

As a pro-blogger you should have an edge to because you’re used to writing. Of course with the thousands of entrant used to writing won’t cut it. So as I said it’s time to come up with something compelling and write really well about it!

If you’re into blog monetization you should also realize that what’s at stake here isn’t just the expedition (although that alone should spur lots of people to join) but also because the chance to make your blog famous.

You can be sure at least that your jealous competitors will be checking out your blog. Not to mention the press you’ll be getting. So just a friendly advice: Join the contest and give it your all. Good luck!
