We also continuously support the creative writing of travel writers who want to publish their content on our platform. So we organize writing contests with no entry fee once a year with closing dates at the end of June. Our main aim is to encourage newcomers to develop their skills in this field.
We are very happy to announce once again we organizing the free writing contests for travel posts non-professional travel bloggers who want to express their views on the tourist places in their own words.
TouristBug had already organized a travel writing competition in 2020 and got very good responses from our readers and travelers who want to share their traveled places memories with us and our readers. Participants can write anything related to travel in India like adventure travel, Travel story, Travel destinations, Tourist places reviews, Travelogues, Shrine details, family travel trips, bad trip experiences, funny travel, etc.
We are organizing this competition for non-professional travel bloggers and new travel content writers those who show their skill and share their travel experiences with the world on our platform.

amazing travel experiences that you want to share with the world.

Pro Tip for Travel Post Selection
Try to explore that place details
that are famous in your city but only local people know about that place is
important and why it so famous. All major and important tourist places are
already written and explored by many travel bloggers so if have information
about any places that are not known by others your post will be definitely rank
in the number one position and chances to win.
If your post is genuine and
unique then your post will be definitely published and rewarded. We share some
unique keywords of our website that rank on top without much SEO and social
media uses. So ready and study why they rank on top.
If you search "Ashwathama Birth Place" then we rank on top because we explored that place. Local peoples know about that but maximum Indians don't know about it.
