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- Submit an original and unpublished essay or mini-guide of between 1,200 and 5,000 words relating to your experience living, moving, or working abroad.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.

Editors will judge entries based upon the following criteria:
- Sensitive to the people and culture being described

- Follow the thematic guidelines
- Enhance with rich photographic and/or video illustrations
