Write About Your Travels, Win $200!
by Mike Richard

I’m excited to announce that Vagabondish has partnered with SpongeFish.com who has just launched their Where in the World? Travel Contest.
It’s simple: write about any place you’ve visited and convince SpongeFish readers why they should want to go there (or not) too! The story with the most views wins a $200 Visa gift card. C’mon, you’re already blogging about your favorite trips anyway! You might as well put your inner Hemingway to work for you.
Here are the complete details:
About
Where did you go on your last trip? Whether it was around the world, visiting family, driving cross continent, or to the local mall, we want to know how it was, and whether we should go there. Use text and pictures or video to tell your story.
Details
Enter as often as you like (only one prize per person). The top 5 entries will be selected on the basis of pageviews, and the prize order determined by our esteemed judges after that. Contest closes January 10th.
