For over twenty years, our 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.
Once again part of the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards, the leading book trade awards for travel writers, this is an unrivalled opportunity for unpublished travel writers.
THE THEME
The theme for this year’s competition is 'taking the risk'.
Entrants are invited to submit an original piece of writing of between 600 and 800 words which either includes this phrase or clearly touches on the theme.
THE PRIZE
The overall winner will be crowned our New Travel Writer of the Year and will receive a five nights’ all-inclusive stay at Calabash Cove Resort & Spa on the island of St Lucia, in a Sunset Oceanview Junior Suite, covering all meals and beverages including room service. Return flights from London Gatwick and airport transfers in St Lucia are also included.*
