FORT WORTH, Texas, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Way magazine, the award-winning inflight magazine of American Airlines, recently launched the 8th Annual American Way Road Warrior Contest. All it takes to be a contender is to visit www.americanwaymag.com/roadwarrior by Aug. 31, and fill out a simple survey, as well as complete a series of fun tasks set forth by the American Way editors.

The top five Road Warrior finalists will be chosen by the American Way editorial staff and then American Way readers will determine the Grand Prize, Second Prize, and Third Prize winners by voting online for their favorite contestant.

Over the past seven years, over 50,000 travelers have entered the contest in hopes of winning the coveted Road Warrior title and amazing prizes, which this year include a Grand Prize of 2 million Hilton HHonors(R) bonus points and 1 million AAdvantage(R) bonus miles. One Second Prize consists of one Bose(R) Lifestyle(R) 48 DVD home entertainment system, one Bose(R) Wave(R) music system, one pair of Bose(R) QuietComfort(R) 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling(R) headphones, and one five-night trip for two to the Hilton Papagayo Resort & Spa in Costa Rica from Hilton Caribbean. Three Third Prizes include a three-night vacation for two to the Hilton Papagayo Resort & Spa in Costa Rica from Hilton Caribbean. All five winners will receive a Verizon BlackBerry(R) Storm(TM) smartphone and a $100 Verizon gift card. And all five of the newest Road Warriors will be featured on the cover and throughout the March 15, 2010, issue of American Way with their travel tales, photos, and more.

"We know how hectic it can be when you spend your life on the road," said Adam Pitluk, editor of American Way. "So we want to reward five true Road Warriors with the fame and fortune they deserve for all their hard work."

Being a veteran traveler means experiencing all kinds of adventures, which help make a true Road Warrior stronger, smarter, and more equipped to take on the next travel challenge. This year, in addition to answering a series of travel-related multiple choice questions, entrants will share their personal Top 8 reasons they feel they are a true road warrior. Contestants will also be asked to choose their favorite album and compose an original travel adventure story, using the album title, the artist or band name, and all the song titles throughout the story.
