Polly Evans – Travel Competition

Award-winning travel author and journalist Polly Evans has just launched a new website at www.pollyevans.com, which specialises in quirky travel to offbeat places. And, because she's always receiving emails from her readers telling her travel tales more lurid and extraordinary than anything she's ever managed, she’s throwing down the gauntlet with a monthly competition, run in conjunction with Bradt. Email Polly with the story of your most bizarre travel experience, and the author of the best piece each month will win the Bradt Guide of their choice. Enter here. Polly won the 2006 Bradt Guides / Independent on Sunday travel-writing award, and has contributed as a panellist to the Bradt travel-writing seminar for the last two years. She's also just signed up as a Bradt author: she’s writing a book about amazing travel experiences beneath the northern lights – whether you’re an active type who longs to go dogsledding, a romantic yearning for an ice-chapel wedding, or a big kid searching for the real Father Christmas, there's an adventure here for you.
