Win fame and fortune with your travel writing

Do you write about your travels? If you’re like most of us, you probably have notebooks full of stories, anecdotes and other traveling tales. Well, if you’d like to do something with those stories, the DeepTravelers website is holding a Travel Writing Extravaganza with a chance to win a $500 cash prize for your story.

I generally abhor writing contests, but this one has two key points in its favor — the prize is nearly on par with what you’d get paid for a short piece in an online publication, and there aren’t any strange categories or word limits. The only requirement is that you tell a good story.

The other interesting aspect of the contest is that winners will be chosen by the DeepTraveler’s community rather a panel of (often very jaded) editors.

If you’re interested read through the fine print on the DeepTraveler’s site. The contest deadline is October 15, 2008 and there are already quite a few entries online if you want to scope out the competition.

To enter, submit your writing and photos or scanned images/artwork to bestvoice@deeptravelers.org

DeepTravelers will be announce the winner on October 20, 2008. Good Luck!
