 Be Concordia's Tour
Guide! 
Have you ever wanted to be a tour guide on an exotic
journey?
Then enter Ocean Challenge’s Port Guide Contest!
What do I do?
The first thing to do is click here to find the
cities which we have selected to be the subject cities of the contest. You may enter an
essay for each city if you wish. The more you discover, the better!
Now, learn all you can about your chosen city or cities. You don’t
have to actually go there, but you’ll need to research the place. If you were going
to any of them, what would you want to know??
For example, you may want to research a few of these topics:
- historic or archeological sites

Once you have found the information that you want to tell Concordia about,
write your guide to the city (250 words absolute maximum). Write so that your
submission would be helpful to visitors (such as the Class Afloat students) who are
arriving there for the first time.
How do I enter?
Once you have your Tour Guide Essay finished, edited, polished, within the length
guidelines, and with no spelling mistakes, send it to Ocean Challenge. Don't forget to
tell us your name, grade, schoolname and address. You may either:
email it to ocean@sitesalive.com
fax it to (617)248-9777
or send it via regular post to:
Class Afloat Tour Guide
c/o Ocean Challenge, Inc.
225 Friend Street
Boston, MA 02114
When are entries due?
We must receive your submission at least two weeks before Concordia reaches
the subject ports. (If we got the guides any later, the students on Concordia
wouldn’t be able to use them in port!) Click here for
a list of the entry dates.
How are winners chosen?
The staff of Ocean Challenge will choose one winner from Elementary School (up to grade 6)
and one from Middle School (grades 6-9.) The winning entries will be posted on the Class
Afloat Web site and telexed via satellite to Concordia. And they may be printed in
Class Afloat News!
