Conditions:

• Submit an original and unpublished essay or mini-guide of between 1,200 and 5,000 words relating to your experience living, moving, or working abroad. 
• Focus should be placed on a description of the experience abroad and not primarily on personal feelings, as the descriptions and perceptions of the author should imply the personal impact.

Evaluation Criteria:

Editors will judge entries based upon the following criteria:

• Sensitive to the people and culture being described

• Provide practical information others can use
• Follow the thematic guidelines
• Enhance with rich photographic and/or video illustrations
