Guardian Launches Wales Travel Competition for Hidden Discoveries
The Guardian has launched an exciting travel competition, calling on UK residents to share their favourite under-the-radar places and activities in Wales. From the sweeping surf beaches of the Gower to the majestic peaks of Eryri National Park, also known as Snowdonia, Wales boasts an abundance of world-class natural attractions. However, this initiative aims to uncover lesser-known gems that might not feature on typical tourist itineraries.
Competition Details and Prize Information
Participants are encouraged to submit tips about perfect hiking or biking trails, intriguing small museums, unexpected diversions, or any unique discoveries that became highlights of their trips. The best tip of the week, selected by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will win a £200 voucher for a stay at a Coolstays property. Coolstays offers over 3,000 accommodations worldwide, providing winners with ample choice for their next getaway.
Submission guidelines require entries to be kept to approximately 100 words. While relevant photos are welcome, the competition will be judged solely on the written content. The winning tips will be featured in the Guardian Travel section and on its website, offering participants a platform to share their insights with a broader audience.
Eligibility and Deadline
For legal reasons, only UK residents aged 18 or over are eligible to enter this competition. Entries can be submitted anonymously if desired, with all responses securely encrypted and accessible only to the Guardian. The data provided will be used exclusively for the competition feature and deleted afterward. The competition closes on Monday, 16 February at 10am GMT, so interested individuals should act promptly to participate.
For those seeking inspiration, past winners and other tips are available to view. Participants must agree to the terms and conditions, which outline the rules and privacy policies. This competition not only rewards adventurous travellers but also helps build a community-driven resource for discovering Wales' hidden treasures.
