Enter the world’s best competition for unpublished travel writers!

For over 20 years, Bradt Guides’ ‘New Travel Writer of the Year’ competition has been seeking out and championing new writing talent. Previous winners and finalists in the competition have gone on to see their work published in newspapers, travel magazines and books.

Despite the pandemic, the show will go on – and once again we’ve teamed up with the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards to offer this unrivalled opportunity for unpublished travel writers.

The theme

The theme for this year’s competition is I’d love to go back. Entrants are invited to submit an original piece of writing of between 600 and 800 words on the destination they most want to return to when travel opens up again, and what it is about that place that draws them back.This could be a particular event that occurred there or person they met.

The piece must be a true story, based on the writer’s personal experience and written as a first-hand account, in the first person and in English.

The prizes

Three finalists will attend the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards in early 2021 (may be virtual, to be confirmed) and see their work included in a new anthology to be published by Bradt Guides later in the year.

The overall winner will be crowned our New Travel Writer of the Year and win a £100 Bradt voucher.

The judges

Judges for this year’s competition include Hilary Bradt, founder of Bradt Guides, Adrian Phillips, Bradt Guides MD and Jonathan Lorie, travel-writing trainer and author of The Travel Writer’s Way.
