Budget Travel Seeks Reader Stories for 10th Anniversary Edition

According to the travel website Gadling, Budget Travel is asking its readers to submit stories for their 10th anniversary edition. The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2007. One submission per person. The Budget Travel anniversary issue will be published in June 2008.

There are several article categories. Some readers will even get $100 to spend in a favorite place - provided they write about the weird stuff they buy. Some readers will be assigned stories they pitch, but other writers can create their own according to these subjects.

They keep all rights, so consider carefully. They don't want established journalists, so this could be a clip for a beginning travel writer. I don't see anything about payment, so ask when you pitch.
