Jumpstart your Alaska summer with the “Quest for the Ultimate Alaska Adventure.” Sign up to win your share of $20,000 in travel prizes. The contest is Mar. 21-27, 2022.

Prizes, prizes and more prizes!

Scott McMurren and the Alaska Travelgram team are bringing together the top tours, guides, transportation and lodging companies for a week-long virtual scavenger hunt, exploring every adventure Alaska has to offer. The 2021 Quest was a huge success and we are excited to bring back this exciting event once again!

More than five ways to win!

We took your feedback and created even more ways to win! 

Top of the Leaderboard: Grand prizes will be awarded for those in the top tier of the leaderboard. Complete as many challenges as you can to be at the top of the leaderboard by the end of the week (this will often be a team). 

49th Position: Grand prize for the team (or Party of One) in the 49th position. We love our mid-packers! If there is a tie for 49th position, the prize will be awarded by random draw. 

Daily Prizes: Complete the special daily challenges to ensure you’re entered to win one of our “prizes of the day”. We’ll do a random draw from those that complete these challenges. We’ll have several each day to ensure you’ve got lots of chances to win. 

Party of One: We know it’s harder to get to the top of the leaderboard when you’re playing as an individual so we’ll have prizes each day for those competing as individuals.

Out of Towners: We’ll have special prizes each day for those playing from outside of the greater Anchorage area. You may not top the leaderboard but we’ve got lots for you too!

Special Mention Prize: Each day the judges will choose some of their favorite entries to recognize those that have “wowed” us.
