The non-profit Glimpse Foundation promotes itself as providing cross-cultural understanding through the experiences of college-age travelers living and studying abroad; writing contest entries, Glimpse says, will "really offer a flavor for the daily realities of life in other countries."
Eleven runners-up take home a Rough Guide travel guide and will see their words in print, too.
Opportunities like these are a part of the reason you journal when traveling. Not only do you want to remember your trip, but chances exist, like this one, to share what you experienced with fellow and future student travelers.
And writing about foreign food is an absolute blast.
The Glimpse Foundation also sponsors an annual student travel photo contest with a November deadline, offering photo publication in the annual Glimpse calendar.
Regular or periodic contributors are always welcome at Glimpse -- join the database and start writing. You'll be notified of contribution possibilities, including writing and photography contests.
Good luck!
