The Only Student Travel Writing Contest on Studying, Volunteering, Internships, and Short-Term Work Abroad

TransitionsAbroad.com hosts an annual student writing contest for all currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students, students who have graduated within the past year, and students currently on leave from school are eligible.

For this year's contest, the winning student submission will be awarded $500, the second place winner will be awarded $150, and the third place winner $100. All winning pieces will be published on the TransitionsAbroad.com website. Runner-up winners will be awarded $50 and will be published on TransitionsAbroad.com.

The title "Transitions" is meant to suggest the changes in perception and understanding, as well as in place, that result from cultural immersion travel. Transitions Abroad has long featured regular Student to Student Advice, Student Participant Reports, Internships Abroad and Student Volunteer Service Learning articles, where students share information and experience with other students contemplating educational travel abroad, whether formal study abroad, internships, volunteering, or short-term work abroad (including the most common form—teaching English).

Word Count
1,000-2,000 words.

Student Writing Contest Deadline
The Contest begins May 15th, 2008, and all entries must be received by March 1st, 2009.
