Tell us about your summer holiday and you could win a trip to New Zealand, a German riverboat holiday, flights to New York, a family tipi break in Cornwall or a trip to Damascus
NVDL: This is a good idea, and expect to see more of these sort of things in the media. Why? Because these days there's going to be less travelling and less travel writing and that's because there's going to be less flying, and less driving, and less money for the fun non-essential stuff. Of course that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the country closer to home.
Ever fancied yourself as a travel writer? We are inviting readers to write a short feature about their 2008 summer holiday.
Send us 500 words on your holiday, explaining what made it special - with as much detail as possible (place names, names of hotels/B&Bs/restaurants, what you especially enjoyed seeing and doing). The best five entries, as chosen by our editors, will each win one of our five holiday prizes, and will be published in full in the Travel section of the Guardian and on guardian.co.uk/travel on August 30, along with numerous runners-up.
There are five categories - and five different prizes up for grabs.
To enter the competition, send your entry (no more than 500 words) to travel.writer@guardian.co.uk. Don't forget to tell us which of the five categories you are writing about, and include your name, address and daytime contact telephone number.
The deadline for entries is 11.59pm on Friday August 22 2008.
