UK Passport Services – Financial Aid Competition
An exciting new travel-writing competition has been launched by UKPS with a first prize award of $500. This competition is open to US and UK students who are invited to submit an essay based on our suggested title.
UK Passport Services are obviously heavily involved in helping people to travel the globe and we would like you to write an engaging and thought-provoking essay based on the suggested title.
Competition details
The suggested essay title is: Different Perceptions – Destinations that are not actually the way you imagined them to be
A good example of this would be the city of Medellin in Colombia. This former cocaine capital is now a tourist-friendly destination and a model metropolis, which is very different to how you might imagine it would be.
We would like you to write about a destination that you may have visited or know about, which is actually very different when you get there, in comparison to pre-conceived and general perceptions about your chosen destination.
Finding our winner
Our panel of judges will choose a winner from all the qualifying entries that are submitted and announce who has won a first prize of a financial aid award of $500, on 31st July.
