Hello,
I would like to let you know about an exciting scholarship opportunity for your students!
WorldNomads.com in conjunction with Rough Guides, Intrepid Travel and Hotels.com is offering the chance to go to Tokyo, Japan with Rough Guides Travel Writer, Simon Richmond.
The assignment will be to research, review and update essential travel info for the Tokyo section of ‘The Rough Guide to Japan’, including accommodation, bars & restaurants, entertainment, shopping, tours, activities and transport, as well as searching out those local secrets that travelers want to read about.
Your work will feature in the new edition of ‘The Rough Guide to Japan’, placing your foot firmly in the door of the elusive travel writing industry!
The winner of the scholarship will be flown to Tokyo from their country of residence where they will join Simon Richmond from Rough Guides for a 7 day assignment.
They will gain invaluable mentoring and hands-on experience through Simon's many years of Travel Writing.
After the assignment, the scholarship winner will also enjoy a 4 day “Flavours of Tokyo” tour with Intrepid Travel.
Applicants for the scholarship must Craft a 500 word (or less) travel focused essay based on a personal experience around one of the following themes;
a. 'A Journey that Changed Lives'
b. 'Responsible Travel'
c. 'Adventure in an Unknown Culture'
d. 'A Memorable Experience Involving Food in a Foreign Country'
They will also be asked to provide 200 words or less on why they should be awarded the World Nomads 2010 Travel Writing Scholarship.
All interested students should visit the WorldNomads.com Scholarship page for more information: http://journals.worldnomads.com/scholarships/post/35985.aspx
The deadline for entrants is December 21, 2009. We would appreciate you forwarding this information on to your students and lecturers, and uploading the information to the appropriate section of your website as this opportunity is open to all students.
Please let me know if you would like more information regarding this exciting writing scholarship.
Kind regards,
