Eligibility
- You need to be 18 or over at the time of the application deadline (October 16, 2022).
- If you’re still learning the craft and creating content is responsible for less than 25% of your income, then you’re eligible to apply. This may mean you’ve had work commissioned in the past or keep a regular social channel or blog of your own – but it isn’t your full-time gig.
- They want to see your best travel content and understand why you think you should win. Your content can be old or new, but must:
- Be an image, video, blog or vlog post that is in English and publicly accessible
- Showcase a travel story, experience or location
- Show originality, creativity and be visually engaging
- Take 2 minutes maximum to review in full (view, watch or read)
- Your submission must be in English.
Judging Criteria
- Your 150 word or less written submission needs to convince their judges that you have a passion for travel and creating content as a career. They will be weighting your entry based on submitted content (80%) and your written submission (20%).
Application
- Find your best travel content: Share an image, video, blog or vlog post that shows your creativity and passion for travel.
- Share it: Fill in the form, link to your content (publicly accessible) and say why you should win.
- Submit your entry: They will shortlist their favourites, meet you via Zoom and award their 4 scholarship winners.
