Last week, I blogged about Moleskine’s new City Notebooks, and took a look at the Prague notebook. Moleskine has also announced a Travel Journal Contest to celebrate the release of the City Notebooks in Asia:

Moleskine is thrilled to announce its first collaboration with Air France to mobilize the creative input of the travellers’ community.

You love traveling? You always keep a Moleskine in your pocket? Come and join this fabulous contest that may allow you to win a round trip ticket to Paris.

The most nomadic Moleskine challenge of the year: An invitation to all travelers in Asia to design their ultimate travel journal.

ENTRANTS
The application process is open to anybody regardless of age, nationality or sex. Entrants should reside in Asia.

ENTRY PERIOD
Entrants should fill the online registration form and send back their completed travel notebook between March 1st, 2007 and June 30th, 2007.

FEE
There is no application fee. However, the applicant will have to purchase the Moleskine notebook used for this contest and bear the costs for creating the artworks and postage costs for sending the notebook to our office.

First Prize is one Air France economy class ticket to Paris; Second Prize is the full collection of 16 Moleskine European and American city notebooks; and Third through Fiftieth Prize is one set of three Moleskine notebooks. The best 50 travel notebooks will also be exhibited in a nomadic exhibition around Asia in August and September 2007.

Any artistic discipline is welcome: writing, drawing, painting, illustration, graphic, collage, etc. Be aware that you will not get your travel journal back, so make sure you can part with your creation after you have put so much hard work into it.
