For all of you teenagers out there who have always wanted that freedom-filled road trip experience, Virginia is the place for you! There is an AMAZING sweepstakes, in which you and your family (up to 4 people, including you) could possibly win a seven-day, six-night vacation, complete with airfare, a hybrid rental car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and overnight stays at Virgina resorts and hotels. Officially called the “Go Green on the Blue Ridge Parkway Sweepstakes,” this contest gives you a chance to experience the beautiful mountains of Virginia while sampling local food, staying in cabins and resorts, and doing daily activities to keep you busy.

You must be 21 or older to enter, so have your parents sign up for you. The contest runs through November 1, 2010, so you (and your parents) have plenty of time to apply. And for all of you frugal folk out there, there is no purchase necessary to enter the sweepstakes, so log on now!

Why such a sweepstakes? 2010 marks the 75th anniversary of the Blue Ridge Parkway, which covers 469 miles of byway from Shenandoah National Park in VA to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in NC. This sweepstakes is recognizing hotels, restaurants and public attractions that are taking steps to preserve the environment.

The trip is completely paid for, from a pizza and ice cream dinner to mountain biking and rock climbing sessions. The grand prize winners gain entry to museums, national parks, zoos, picnic lunches, music nights, and much more.

If you enjoy the outdoors, appreciate spending time with your family, like helping the environment, or even if you just want to test drive a hybrid car on a seven-day road trip , log onto http://www.virginia.org/brp/rules.asp to register and find out more information.
