Writing Contest: On the Road
15 Prizes totaling $6000 and 80 nights at luxury Fairmont Hotels & Resorts around the world (choose among 50+ locations).
Theme: On the Road
A trip is more than a constellation of must-see places—isn't travel really about the movement and momentum that it takes to connect the dots? Jack Kerouac put it succinctly: "the road is life." For this contest, we want you to write about the road: the in-between places, quirky attractions, scenic drives, irresistible pitstops, natural oases, sleepy forgotten towns, places of pilgrimage, roadside enigmas, monuments, crossroads, and one-of-a-kind ways of getting from point A to point B (and remember to keep it short and sweet—we recommend 65-120 words). Our winners will get a chance to hit the road in style—we're giving away 80 free nights in any of Fairmont's 50+ eligible luxury hotels all over the world.
