Here's the little nav bar image we came up with:

It's a riff on the Amsterdam city flag. Linking the image back to the disclosure post will help to keep this whole shebang transparent to blog readers.

DISCLOSURE

The nitty gritty on Bloggers in Amsterdam, Feb '06:

• The bloggers going to Amsterdam in February '06 (over there on the left) get a free roundtrip flight on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

• They'll be able to stay for five nights at either the Lloyd Hotel or the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky -- both five star hotels near the center of Amsterdam.

• Last but not least, they get an I amsterdam Card, giving them free transportation around the city, gratis entrance to lots of museums and discounts at restaurants, etc.

---

• No blogging about the trip will be required. In exchange for the trip each blogger will [a] be interviewed about the trip (the Dutch Tourism Board may be using this for online/offline promotions), [b] give Holland.com one month of premium adspace, and [c] put the "Bloggers in Amsterdam" logo in their nav bar for one year, linking it to this blog post to disclose the nature of the trip. The mantra here is transparency.

• Holland.com is the web presence of the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions. NBTC’s mission is to promote tourism and business travel to Holland.

• Bloggers in Amsterdam is produced by Blogads.com. Founded in 2002, Blogads.com is a cooperative of leading bloggers helping advertisers place and manage ads on nearly 1000 blogs.
