<p>The tour operator says to celebrate its 20th anniversary it is allowing web users to create a perfect trip itinerary and then ask other users to vote to determine its overall quality compared to other submissions.</p>
<p>Lonely Planet founder Tony Wheeler, Céline Cousteau, National Geographic Adventure Magazine editor-in-chief John Rasmus and Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh are among the judges to determine the final overall winner once the user voting is complete.</p>
<p>GAP&#8217;s foray into online competitions follows the success of the now infamous <a href="http://www.tnooz.com/2010/01/22/news/best-job-in-the-world-pr-campaign-one-year-on-for-the-blogging-brief/" target="_blank">Queensland Best Job campaign</a>, <a href="http://www.tnooz.com/2009/11/30/news/new-zealand-looking-for-a-best-job-in-the-world-type-online-frenzy-recruits-peter-jackson-to-help/" target="_blank">New Zealand&#8217;s Peter Jackson-fronted effort</a>, <a href="http://www.tnooz.com/2009/12/22/news/finland-creates-new-visitor-portal-launches-campaign-based-on-wacky-stereotype/" target="_blank">a wacky Finland initiative</a>, and the recent <a href="http://www.tnooz.com/2010/02/02/news/homeaway-puts-faith-in-objectivity-with-gran-tourismo-project/" target="_blank">HomeAway Grand Tourismo project</a>.</p>
<p>Using the GAP itinerary builder, entrants must select three countries for a trip, include activities and excursions, and explain why the selection was made.</p>
<p>The winner, inevitably, gets to carry out the dream trip.</p>
