My dream is to finish this voyage. To truck Constellation overland to San Francisco, sail the South Pacific, ride a bicycle across America, and sail across Port Phillip Bay into Melbourne – I’d like to achieve this by the end of 2009.

ING Direct in Australia are offering a prize that could make that happen – They’re offering $10,000 as first prize for their ‘My Dream Is’ competition. This voyage fits perfectly into the criteria, and so I’ve entered. The competition rules encourage entrants to include ING branding in their photo – I’ve attempted that, and I hope the message of what I’m trying to do comes across.

Click here to vote and rate it as 5. The public choose the top 100 images for the competition, and then after that, it’s up to panel at ING to decide who’s dream is worth funding!

It will only take a minute of your time, and doesn’t require you to fill out a form, enter your details, or anything else – just a mouse-click. Voting stops on the 14th of December.

Thanks everyone! nick
