As many of you may have heard, Scripted and Intrepid Travel have recently joined forces to celebrate travel writing with our Real Travel Stories Writing Contest! While the contest has been live for almost two weeks, we wanted to share some information and tips on how to increase your chances of winning the prizes: a food, adventure or coffee trip to South America!
RealTravelStories.com is all about the authentic travel experiences that drive people to different places. Whether you're enjoying a local's favorite spot in Madrid, strolling the streets of Istanbul at night, or showering in the dark in Amsterdam, these real experiences from seasoned and novice wanderers are what people search for in their own travels.
By sharing your experiences on RealTravelStories.com, you're not only opening the eyes (and imaginations) of your readers, but you're also setting yourself up to win an awesome trip to experience a new culture in South America.
Two prizes will be awarded to those who submit their travel stories: a Fan Favorite and a Panel Choice. The Fan Favorite prize will be awarded to the piece with the most social shares and upvotes (which occur within the post itself) and the Panel Choice will be awarded to the piece that our panel feels is most well-written, interesting and publishable.
If you're looking to win the Fan Favorite prize from Intrepid Travel, you'll need to be interactive with your content! Follow the below tips to help improve your chances of winning this prize:
