Deadline for Travelers’ Tales annual competition to honor excellence in travel writing — The Solas Awards — is a week away. (Although you can enter year round)

For those not familiar with Travelers’ Tales or the Solas Awards, go to www.BestTravelWriting.com for more information and how to enter.

There are 21 categories in which you can enter, however for the following categories, entries are scanty:

- Family Travel
- Love Story
- Men’s Travel
- Travel and Food
- Travel and Healing

So, dig out or write some travel stories that are “funny, illuminating, adventurous, uplifting, scary, inspiring, poignant—stories that reflect the unique alchemy that occurs when you enter unfamiliar territory and begin to see the world differently as a result.”
