Travel Writing Contest

We are all excited to set sail on our adventurous Romance Slam Jam Crystal Anniversary Cruise to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands in April 2010. But why wait until then for the fun to start? Let’s get in the traveling mood with a Travel Writing Contest relating to the theme: “Always On My Mind: My Most Memorable Trip.” Win a Travelers Survival Basket filled with books, movies, music, travel journal and other fun essentials!
Share your treasured stories with your fellow “Slam Jammers.” We want to hear about your best and worst journeys, your falling in love, your near-death experiences, when you were robbed, lost your luggage, family reunion gone wild, even when you got arrested. We want all the juice. If you have electronic photos or scanned copies of your airline tickets, postcards, stamps, admission tickets, travel journal, foreign money, bail money receipt to illustrate your escapades, well that’s even better!
All publishable entries will be published in the newsletter as we receive them. Entries will be judge by Travel Experts (vagabond, flight attendant, travel agent, fugitive) and Editors. Judging criteria are ability to capture the sense of the location, ability to engage the reader, overall quality of writing, creativity and—where appropriate—humor.
