How would you like to win a $54,000 cruise to the North Pole.....with just 400 words?

If you have great writing skills, and have always wanted to visit the North Pole, it's time to sharpen up that pencil. Quark Expeditions has recently announced a new contest in which they're inviting adventure travelers to blog their way to the North Pole.

All you have to do to enter the competition is to post a short essay (200 to 400 words) on their website. Tell Quark Expeditions, and the world, why you qualify to be Quark's Official Blogger to the North Pole. Your essay must also include a short story about a unique trip or travel experience you've taken, as well as a photo of yourself. Then, just get out the vote!

The competition will close on February 15, 2011. A winner will be selected from the top 5 entrants (chosen by the most votes) by a panel of judges.

Quark Expeditions, one of the top adventure travel companies offering access to the Arctic and Antarctic, is currently holding a contest in which the grand prize is a trip for two to Antarctica next year. The excursion is valued at more than $20,000!

All you have to do is tell the world – in 300 words or less – why you should be the official blogger for the February 2010 Antarctic cruise. Quark Expeditions is looking for an adventurous spirit, a keen sense of observation, and the ability to write with style and imagination. No blogging experience is necessary.

The Official Quark Blogger will travel with a guest to Antarctica, aboard the Lyubov Orlova, and blog about their experience, chronicling the action, the emotion, and the drama as their polar adventure unfolds. You’ll have an opportunity to visit penguin rookeries, cruise in Zodiacs and hike glaciers.

The cruise will sail from February 20 to March 3, 2010.

The competition started on June 19, 2009 and the end date for all entries is noon September 30, 2009, EDT. A selected entrant will be chosen by public voting – one vote per valid email address. The entry that receives the highest number of votes, and meets all eligibility requirements, will be declared the winner.
