Enter Traveler’s Storyteller Contest

John Steinbeck. Rebecca West. Bill Bryson. Think you have it in you to be the next great travel storyteller? Here’s your chance to prove it.

National Geographic Traveler and the Matador Network are teaming up to find the best new travel writing talent in four categories: blog, magazine article, video, and photo essay. If you have the goods, we might just publish your work in the magazine, on our website, or right here on the IT blog.

We’ll be selecting one grand prize winner in each category, all of whom will be invited to “Storytellers’ Day” with the Traveler editorial staff at Nat Geo’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. (including airfare from any location in the U.S. and one night in a hotel) and receive a one-year subscription to the magazine.

The deadline to enter the competition is this Saturday, March 31st, so get all the details, then get your storytelling butt in gear.
