A couple weeks ago, I was thrilled to introduce our Into the Blue: Marathon to a Million contest, celebrating one million likes on Facebook by giving away one million JetBlue TrueBlue points. Now that the submission period has ended, I’m excited to announce our five semifinalists!

Team TPG carefully reviewed the submissions based on their appropriateness to the “Into the Blue” theme, creativity of the photo, originality of the travel experience and the number of likes and shares it got on Facebook. Here are the photos from our five semifinalists (in no particular order):

Tina D. from San Antonio submitted this adventurous photo with 2,213 likes.

Samuel N. from Miami Beach submitted this awesome action shot from Greece, which got 2,321 likes on Facebook.

All of the submissions were great and made the judging process difficult for us! If your photo wasn’t selected as one of our semifinalists, fear not. I’m super excited to announce a reader celebration on Saturday, May 14, in San Francisco where we will announce the winner of our Into the Blue contest. Details will be forthcoming, but if you submitted a photo for the contest and can join us in the Bay Area, contact contests@thepointsguy.com with proof of your photo submission for first priority in attending the celebration.

Again, congratulations to our five semifinalists! Thank you to JetBlue and BarclaycardUS for your partnership!
