Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 09.12.06 | 1:10 PM ET
Travelers’ Tales has launched a series of new travel-writing awards and an accompanying Web site. The annual Solas Awards feature cash prizes. The site, BestTravelWriting.com, is “a lively new site for stories, gossip, news, and information about the world of travel writing,” in the words of TT. It features a weblog, awards submission details and a number of stories.
Here’s how the awards will work, according to Travelers’ Tales:
The TT editors will choose winners in 21 categories ranging from adventure to humor, from destination to memoir, and everything in between. The grand prize category has cash awards of $1,000, $750, and $500; all other category winners receive a certificate and copies of the most recent editions of The Best Travel Writing and The Best Women’s Travel Writing. Plus, winners may be published in Travelers’ Tales books.
There’s always room for more awards, say we. We look forward to watching all this develop.
