This is a cool contest with an even cooler prize – National Geographic Adventure, in partnership with South African Airways and South African Tourism, is giving away a trip to South Africa to the author of the best adventure essay.
To enter, you need to submit a personal essay of between 250 – 500 words, along with your best photo of the adventure. Essays will be read and judged by Andrew Skurka, 2007’s Adventurer of the Year, and a panel of judges from Adventure magazine.
South African Tourism and National Geographic Adventure invite you to submit a real-life account describing your own adventure, or an adventurer you know plus their thrilling experience of exploration on land, water, or air. Readers may submit an essay of 250-500 words and a photo that captures this adventure- whether it is the thrill, the challenge, or a unique, unexpected adventure moment.
The winner will receive a customizable adventure trip to South Africa, PLUS be invited to National Geographic Adventure’s “Adventurer of the Year” event in Washington, D.C., where they’ll also get a VIP tour of the National Geographic Society, and be recognized in the February issue of National Geographic Adventure magazine.
Sounds like a pretty sweet prize package, especially if you read National Geographic Adventure. So, get to work on your essay and photo submission – the deadline is October 15th. For more details, visit the contest’s website.
Good luck!
