With the arrival of autumn, it’s the perfect time to explore European coastal destinations that come alive when the summer crowds depart. We are inviting entries for a unique travel competition where you can share your beloved autumn sun getaway spot. Whether it’s a seaside town in the UK or a warmer European coastline that remains vibrant beyond September, we want to hear about your favourite locations for an off-season break filled with late sun and local charm.
Prize for the Best Travel Tip
Your detailed travel tip could win you a £200 voucher, thanks to a collaboration with Coolstays. This company manages a remarkable collection of over 3,000 stunning properties around the world. Tips chosen will be featured in a well-known Travel section print edition and online.
Competition Entry Details
Participants must write a concise tip with a word limit of around 100 words. While photos can be included, the competition focusses on the narrative itself. Only UK residents are eligible to participate due to legal reasons.
The competition deadline is firmly set for Monday, 5 October, closing precisely at 10am BST. Ensure your submission is in before then to be considered.
For those who wish to remain anonymous, submissions can be made securely via our encrypted online form. Entries are handled confidentially, and any personal data will be discarded after its use for the competition.
