Could You Be The World’s Next Great Travel Writer?

July 2nd, 2007 by The Backpackers Team

Have writing skills? Want to become a travel writer? Well, if you’re a student in North America, a good place to get noticed might just be National Geographic Traveler’s Next Great Travel Writer contest.

We’re asking students all over North America to send us a 300-word essay on a travel experience that moved you, excited you or changed you. The author of the winning essay will travel on assignment to Mongolia with National Geographic Traveler’s Editor-in-Chief Keith Bellows, courtesy of Travcoa. Even better, the winner will have his/her story published on the National Geographic Traveler website.

Get your entry in by 31 December 2007.
