Enter your travel story in the Bradt/Independent on Sunday Travel Writing Competition 2012

Once again Bradt has teamed up with The Independent on Sunday for our annual Travel Writing Competition, with the support of Stanfords and with prizes donated by Railbookers and Travellers' Tales. The main prize, donated by Railbookers, is a holiday for two to Abruzzo and publication of the winning entry in the travel section of The Independent on Sunday. In addition, the winner will earn a commission from the newspaper to write a piece about their visit to Abruzzo.

This prize can be won by either a previously published or unpublished writer. A special prize will also be awarded to an unpublished writer. This is a place on a travel-writing weekend run by Travellers’ Tales, the UK’s a training agency for travel writing. Every entry to the competition will be entered for the first prize; only unpublished writers will be eligible for the special prize.

The theme this year is ‘A Close Encounter...’ and entries must be based on personal experience relating to the theme. Minimum length is 600 words, maximum length is 800 words.

The competition opened on 15th April 2012 and the closing date for entries to reach us is noon on Friday 15 June 2012.
