Contiki Holidays, youth travel company and The Matador Network, are searching for three of the world’s up and coming storytellers, committed to making a difference in helping protect our planet. The three lucky winners will travel on a six day Costa Rica Unplugged trip with celebrated documentary film maker, adventurer and storyteller, Céline Cousteau in April 2014.
Together with Céline and a respected storyteller from the Matador Network, the winners will visit Contiki Cares latest partnership – the Sea Turtle Conservancy Foundation and discover the work they do to save sea turtles from extinction. The three lucky winners will need to have demonstrated their passion, creativity, and skills in photography, film or travel journalism on the competition page, to secure a spot on the trip. The competition continues February 28, 2014. The winners will be selected by a panel of judges from Contiki, Matador Network and Céline Cousteau.
The three winners will receive a scholarship to the Matador online journalism programme, a chance to travel to Costa Rica with Contiki and learn first-hand about ocean conservation from activist and Contiki ambassador Céline Cousteau. Through their travel experience and journalism skills the winners will be in good stead to become correspondents for the Matador Network, helping spread the word about ocean conservation through travel storytelling.
