Lonely Planet Community Highlights : competition

Show us your travel polaroids and WIN!

 

Even in this age of digital gratification, nothing beats polaroids. The saturated colour, the ability to mess with the emulsion, the thrill of watching the image develop - their magic will never pall.

 

We're inviting you to dust off and share your old travel Polaroids for the chance to win a fab prize (and revel in nostalgia, of course!)

Win the Chance to Write for Lonely Planet

Adventurous travellers who plunge into the unknown and bring back fresh insights and the best advice: that's what Lonely Planet is built on. If you love roaming the world and have a talent for capturing a new angle, we want you to hit the road for us.

 

We'll sort you out with an AU$5000 STA Travel Voucher, and you get to pick where you go. While you're on the road, you'll produce either a feature article, a podcast, a video or a photo gallery for lonelyplanet.com. This is a money-can't-buy opportunity to develop your skills with the support of our online editorial team - and get your creative efforts up for all the world to see. How do you enter?

 

Visit the Bluelist Competition page for details on how to enter. Good luck!

Head to New Orleans to film your ‘dream 24 hours’

So you've got a day in The Big Easy - where do you start? Is it beignets for breakfast, a gallery-hop along Magazine Street and a beer at the Bulldog Bar? Or is it cajun dancing, soul food at Pampy's and rocking out at the Voodoo Music Experience?

Lonely Planet, in association with 24Nola.com, is offering 3 lucky people the opportunity to head to New Orleans to film their 'dream 24 hours' for lonelyplanet.tv.
