Islands Magazine story contest

The editors at Islands Magazine have just informed me that they are holding a travel-writing contest this winter, with the winner scoring publication in the magazine and a free trip to Tahiti. Only non-professional writers (that is, those who derive less than 20 percent of income from writing) are eligible to enter.

The entry information at the Islands website reads:

Are you ready to go on the trip of a lifetime? Write about your best island experience. Inspire us. Sweep us away. Make your story come alive with writing something we won't soon forget. Tell us your story in a maximum of 1,000 words. The editors of ISLANDS will choose the best tale, publish it, then pack you and a friend off to Tahiti, where you'll stay 5 nights in the Sheraton Moorea Resort & Spa.

Stories should be emailed to editorial@islands.com, with the words TAHITI CONTEST in the subject line. Deadline is March 31st.
