ANOTHER TRAVEL WRITING CONTEST
Looks like oktatabyebye was a big hit among bloggers and aspiring travel writers. The last round is still on and many are eagerly waiting for the results. And just when it is about to be completed, I happened to bump into another travel writing contest at sulekha.com. The prizes look lucrative! It is open for all, and all you need to do is submit your journal entry. I tried making a submission yesterday, but the process of uploading images seemed to be really hard and cumbersome, and the uploaded image did not appear in the submission even after playing around with it for 10-15 minutes. So I just gave up on it.
And just for the record, I did contest on oktatabyebye and made the initial cut, but I had to reply as “not available” for meeting in Mumbai/Delhi as well as for travelling on the provided dates. I don’t know if I would ever have qualified, but it is always nice to look for an opportunity to go on a sponsored trip!! 🙂
