How Do I Advertise My Contest?

At what forums can I advertise (with no charge) a travel photo contest?

• My friends at www.TravelPapa.com has launched a photo contest "Share Your Travel Kiss", with $1500 in prizes. The idea is great, and about a hundred of photographers who know about the contest like a chance to win huge money just with a kiss picture. But we want more photographers to participate in the contest and we want more competition as well. We have tried several times to tell more people about the contest at different forums. But a number of big travel or photo sites do not let us to paste this kind of information at their forums. They consider it as an advertising which is to be paid. So, the question is: at what popular travel and photo websites can we freely inform traveling photographers (either professional or amateur ones) about the photo kiss contest? Would you share URLs of the sites which are more tolerant to our idea and won't charge our contest ad? Thank you!

  That sound cool! Maybe post it in comment sections of site? You might want to get permission 1st. Your welcome to post it on the comments section of one of the posts on my site (http://samrphotography.blogspot.com) I get a lot of people on and they might be interested. I don't know any forums. Maybe try Twitter and Facebook and Tumblr? http://samrphotography.blogspot.com
