Travel Writing Contests

Details of the Bradt/Independent travel writing competition for 2015 are now out and can be found here. This year's theme is 'Serendipity.' The main prize is a fly-drive holiday to Iceland, and the prize for the best 'unpublished' writer is a holiday for two to the Cinque Terre in Italy.

Granada

If you are interested in travel writing, it's well worth having a go; my husband won the 'unpublished' category in 2008. His prize was a travel-writing weekend in Granada.  I went along for the ride as a paying customer, and won an i-Pod Nano in a Dorling Kindersley competition for writing about the Monastery of San Geronimo.  Come to think about it - that was quite serendipitous!
