This year, PPMC is back again with Travelogue Winter Break
2015 Competition and this time you can set your own theme!
What is a
travelogue?
A travelogue is a record made by a traveller of his or her
experiences during a journey or after. It can either be a written report with
many factual details or a narrative story about personal impressions and
experiences that is supported by images. Themes could be adventure, road trip,
exploration, guide, outdoor, nature etc.
A travelogue needs a central idea, which will be the
backbone of your whole essay. Life lessons you’ve learned during the voyage,
your reflections about the differences between the place where you live and the
place you’ve visited, or at least some historic theme could serve as such a
backbone.
We want you to pen down the best experience you’ve had
during your trip.
With a range of 300 - 500 words and 1-3
pictures, participants can write about any new experiences, thoughts, or
lessons that they had learnt during their journey. It can be written in Malay
or English. Pen name is allowed but we need to know your identity (for
prize identification). In simple words, tell us about your adventure! Even if
you just went to winter camp (PUISI, PMS, RISE, JUMS) and not anywhere else,
you can still join :)
You can submit your work to ppmc4all@yahoo.ie . Only 1
submission can be made per person. The best 4 submissions
will be published on this blog, and the best 2 of them will be
picked as winners. Each submission is professionally judged based on your
creativity, quality and essence of your story. The more your writing stimulates
others to think and reflect, the more marks you will get.
The deadline for this competition would be on 7th
February 2015. So start writing!
