Posted by Ed Wetschler on June 15, 2010 at 4:51pm
The Heidelberg Mark Twain Award for travel writing about Heidelberg, which will be awarded every three years, includes a prize of 5,000 euros and an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Heidelberg in September 2011. To our knowledge, this is the largest single travel writing award in the English language. Administered by the Heidelberg Club International of New York, the Mark Twain Award contest invites submissions of articles, books, videos and movies, but not still photographs. First submissions due December 15, 2010;  final submissions are due by April 1, 2011.

Full details and official rules are on the Heidelberg Club website; click on HCI Awards program.
