  • Must have traveled with us in 2024
  • Between 500-1200 Words in length
  • Must contain at least 10 photos
  • Photos must be inserted within the body of the blog with detailed captions (Do not send multiple emails or attachments)

What do we mean by Blog Entry?

  • An account of the entire tour experience. This can be broken down by day or can simply be an account of the entire tour.
  • We aren’t looking for “Today, I rode my bike. It was fun. Then I ate some tasty food…” You can do much better than that...and you are going to have to if you plan on winning our Grand Prize!
  • We are looking for a vivid and exciting account of your travels. Push yourself creatively to dig deeper than just a description. You are telling a story, your story. Your emotion, wonder, and excitement should shine through and leave the reader wanting more!

Helpful Tips:

  • Come up with an angle. Don’t just write about your itinerary. Go beyond and explore new things (That is the best way to travel). Example: What’s special? What’s new, old, first, best, worst? What’s exciting? Apply these angles to subjects like food, culture, religion, architecture, customs, entertainment or pretty much anything else travel related and you will have ENDLESS WRITING POSSIBILITIES!
  • Have a plan. Do your research before you leave. This way you will be educated/informed and won’t be overwhelmed with information on the road. This will allow you to enjoy the moment and absorb and observe instead or scribble down notes!
  • Use a good camera. You want the quality of your photos to match the quality of your writing and you want them both to be as good as possible. Today, smartphones have great cameras. If you don’t have a phone with a camera it might be worthwhile to invest in a good digital camera (Again, do some research).
  • Use spell-check. Please check your articles for correct spelling and grammar. We will make minor corrections but will reject articles with too many errors.

Video Guidelines

  • Video should be no longer than 8 mins in length
  • Email link to video to blogger@tripsite.com
