Bradt Travel Guides New Travel Writer of the Year
The Bradt Travel Guides New Travel Writer of the Year competition offers the chance for three aspiring travel writers to see their talent recognised at a glittering awards ceremony in the presence of some of the country’s best-known travel writers, publishers and editors. Furthermore, the first prize this year is a brilliant four-night summer break for two in Swedish Lapland, courtesy of tailor-made holiday specialists Discover the World. The winner will receive a commission to write an article about their trip for Timeless Travels Magazine (giving them a published piece for their CV), as well as a unique antique globe trophy and a place on the next Bradt Travel Writing Seminar (run in conjunction with leading travel-writing training agency Travellers’ Tales).
