October 26th, 2009 Posted in Contests

How’s that for a sweet prize?

Our friends at Bradt Travel Guides are working on a Malta guidebook, and this is your chance to have your photo used as their cover!

So WHAT do you win?

  1. Your photo could be used on the new Bradt Malta guidebook – talk about bragging rights.
  2. Malta Tourism Authority is giving the winning photographer a seven-night trip for two to Gozo, Malta’s sister island. Your flight from the UK + accommodations at the elegant and rustic 5 star Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz are part of the package.

How do I win?

Bradt’s looking for something distinct, so close-ups of Malta’s famous colourful boats are out.   Find something that sums up the diversity and appeal of the Maltese Islands – perhaps one of Malta’s historical sites with the sea, or shots of Valletta’s steep streets.

Take a look here for some ideas on typical guide covers: Bradt guides

Look for photos that are:

  • Bold, striking, colourful

About Bradt
Hilary and George Bradt wrote their first guide on a river barge floating down a tributary of the Amazon. In the 30-plus years since then, the list of books has grown to cover over 130 unique and far-flung destinations: places like North Korea, Kazakhstan, and Ghana. A pioneer in tackling unusual destinations, Bradt was also the first travel publisher to champion sustainable travel and has been credited with helping war-torn countries on the road to recovery.

Note: Bradt reserves the right not to use any image from the competition if it won’t work on a commercial basis. In this event, Bradt will select a winning image to be published inside the book. Malta Tourism Authority reserves the right to use images submitted for promotional purposes.
