The winner will get £1,500 and a two-hour session with an editor from Penguin to discuss their work.
The writer whose work gets the most tweets supporting their entry will be awarded a set of Penguin books. There will also be a special student prize (students are eligible for the main prize, and if it is won by a student, the runner up in the student category will be awarded the student prize).
The competition is for 1,000-word travel stories, which may be fictional or factual. Stories should preferably be based in the writer's real-life experience. Entry is free.
As the competition is for aspiring travel writers, people who are paid to write about travel are not eligible to enter.
The closing date to enter The Next Great Travel Writer 2017 is 5 February.
