hi all,

STA and a bunch of others have just launched a competition for Australian residents (classed as anyone who's lived here for more than 6 months) who've never been paid for travel writing/photography/etc called Road to Adventure.

Here's the blurb:

"Do you dream of snapping your way around the world as a travel photographer? Or do you want to land assignments in exotic places as a travel journalist? Maybe you have a passion for travel TV? Or do you feel you were born for the alternative lifestyle of a living visual artist? Get on the ‘Road to Adventure’ and WIN a future that could change your life!

"What's in it for you?
This is an awesome opportunity to kick start your career and experience Asia, home to the most vibrant cultures, the friendliest people and the most exciting food on earth. The winner of each category will be winging their way to Asia for a 15 day holiday provided by intrepidworld and STA Travel. Highly Commended entries in each category will win a Lonely Planet guidebook!"

There are 4 categories, each with 4 themes, and you can send in an entry for all of them (i.e. 16 in total).

The categories are:

Travel Photography (1 amazing shot)
Visual Arts (1 masterpiece)
Travel TV (3 minutes)
Travel Writing (700 words)

The themes are:

Most Bizarre Experience
Face to Face
Bad Trip
Travelling with Respect

More info on the webpage: www.roadtoadventure.net - and the closing date is 31 July 2002.

have fun!
