52 Perfect Days 2008 Travel Writing Contest

Do you know of an "off-the-beaten-track" area of the United States? If so, you are invited to submit a travel article to the First Annual 52 Perfect Days Travel Writing Contest. 52PerfectDays.com is looking for 750 to 1500 word submissions written by authors who have firsthand knowledge of an undiscovered section of city, or a relatively unheard of town or experience. Articles should appeal to those who enjoy U.S. travel and are willing to get a bit adventurous. Whether you want to explore the ethnic foods in a certain section of town, backpacking in a remote location, or know of a coastal town yet to be discovered, they want to know your story! Share how to spend a perfect day in the location of your choice. They're not interested in travelogues or diaries, but do tell them what makes your location unique or why is it off the main travel radar and why it is worth a visit. You have until October to submit your entry to travelwritingcontest(at)52perfectdays(dot)com.
