Of all the past travel writing contests, this was the most difficult year to narrow down the entries to the top three winners. We initially selected 11 from over 100 entries. One entry stood out from the others and was the unanimous choice for our top spot.
After discussion among the three judges – the three top entries are:
Bring Adventure Back to Europe, by Richard Bangs
Without An Address, You Can’t Go Home, by Tom Bentley
Pie-eyed for Pizza A Love Story, by Kate Silver
Honorable Mentions
Death in Africa by Richard Bangs
Virginia is for Foodies by Allison Tibaldi
Afghanistan Exposed by Savannah Grace
Finding Inspiration among the Redwoods by Bonnie Etherington
Again, a big thank you to all contestants as well as to the companies/individuals who donated prizes. See you next year!
A hearty Congrats to the winners!
