Europe is a treasure trove for culinary enthusiasts, offering diverse experiences from bustling farmers’ markets to vibrant food festivals. Travellers are invited to share their most memorable European food or drink discoveries, with a chance to win a £200 Coolstays voucher. This prize is valid at any of the company’s over 3,000 properties globally.
A Culinary Journey
The contest seeks narratives of culinary delight, whether it’s sampling exquisite pastries in Scandinavia, enjoying a vineyard tour in France with exceptional wine, or savouring truffle dishes in Italy. The goal is to capture the essence of these unique regional foods.
Entries and Awards
Submissions should be concise, around 100 words. The contest’s judging panel, led by Tom Hall from Lonely Planet, will select the best entry, which will also appear in the Guardian Travel section and online. Participants are encouraged to include photos, but the focus is primarily on the written experience.
Eligibility and Deadline
The competition is only open to UK residents, and all entries must be received by 10am BST on Monday 31 August. Participants must be 18 years or older and submissions can be made anonymously if preferred.
