Travellerspoint's first writing competition kicks off this month with a travel blogging theme.

There are three topics for the competition:

1. Food;
2. Off The Beaten Track;
3. Winter.

Of course, we have a very exciting prize for our first writing competition! The winner will not only receive the latest Apple iPad for blogging on the move, but also a limited edition copy of the World Art Book from not-for-profit children's development organisation Art in All of Us, valued at €192. Check here for more info on the book and the program.

Travellerspoint will also donate $5 for every travel blog entry to the Art in All of Us program.

Entries close 20 April. ENTER HERE.
