Rather pleased to be Highly Commended in this year's competition!
The Fifth Annual I Must Be Off! Travel Writing Competition -- The Winners!
Thank you to every writer who shared your adventure with us.
I am amazed every year by the breadth of experience entrants bring to
this competition. The worst part about a competition is that almost
everyone who enters will be disppointed in the end. The best part is the
opportunity of making at least a few people happy by recognizing their
talent and hard work. This year, thanks to the addition of entry-fee
proceeds, I'm increasing the second place prize to €75 and adding a
third place prize of €25!
This year's judge, Graham Mercer, has made the following choices:
First Place
"Forbidden Fruit" by Fiona Dixon (UK)
Second Place
"Old Foreigner" by Fiona Rintoul (UK)
Third Place
"A Hit in the Himalayas" by Scott Morley (USA, South Korea)
Highly Commended
"Straight in the Eye" by Mandy Huggins (UK)
"We are Fire: the Dance of the Devils" by Michael Sealey (Spain)
"Tea with Keiko" by Maria Howard (UK)
Congratulations to all the winners, whose work will be featured at
I Must Be Off! in autumn 2017.
