The CATS Spring Travel-Writing Contest is underway. Yes, you are invited to enjoy New York’s Champlain Valley, hike on CATS trails, patronize local businesses, write about your experiences, and enter the contest. And please tell your friends about it, especially if they are writers.
The First Place prize is $500 and People’s Choice prize is $250 so it is definitely worth the effort. All the entrees should be submitted by April 30th. They will be on posted our website and linked to many other websites making it a good way to promote the Valley and provide exposure for the writers.
CATS is hosting this series of travel-writing contests to boost the local economy. We want the people who are researching vacation destinations online to read these articles and get inspired to come here, enjoy the outdoors, visit local businesses, and tell others about this beautiful area. Therefore, we especially want writers to describe their experiences at local businesses and cultural/historic sites as well as walking around towns, meeting people, hiking on CATS trails, and doing other interesting activities.
Our first travel writing contest concluded in December with the First Place prize awarded for an article jointly written by a 9th grade student and his tutor and the People’s Choice prize went to a young mother who named her baby while hiking a CATS trail. You can see those articles by clicking on "Guides" at this website.
In sum, the contest is about describing the valley's beautiful landscapes, historic hamlets, local businesses, and enjoyable quality-of-life in ways that attract visitors and promote economic vitality.
The CATS Spring Travel-Writing Contest, underwritten with a grant from the J.C. Kellogg Foundation, will run through April 30th with prizes awarded at the Celebrate Champlain Area Trails Event in Essex on National Trails Day, June 2nd. Entrants should submit 800- to 1,300-word articles with two to six photos. For full details, please click on "contest" at this website. And start planning now for the CATS summer travel-writing contest--you could win!
