Win an internship and 7-nights in South Africa

Our first annual travel writing competition The Backdoor – Write Your Way In – is open for entries.  There are some great prizes available to be won for the top three articles that we receive. The question we are asking budding and aspiring writers to answer is:

“A major sporting event creates a large influx of tourism to the host destination. What are the implications and benefits of that influx of travellers to a destination like South Africa?”

The two runners-up will both see their articles published in various places online and second place will also receive offer of an internship with WHL Consulting.  The winner will also receive these two prizes but will also be given 7-nights at one of two lodges in South Africa – the choice is yours.

Lodge 1 – Seaforth Country Lodge

Located in the beautiful Drakensberg area of South Africa, a few of hours from Durban.  Can you see yourself eating breakfast here before an afternoon of spa treatments?  The famous Sani Pass is only minutes away, making a day trip into Lesotho a must.  The region is well known for its incredible scenery, nature and walking trails. Win a stay at Seaforth Country Lodge.
