Just over a week ago Junkee, in partnership with Singapore Airlines, launched a nation-wide search to pick four people in Australia, fly them to some of the world’s most exciting places to find the most interesting, original stories, and report back to us — four Storytellers.
We’ve had a stack of interest and publicity since, and we’re almost ready to start sifting through your applications to see who’ll make the cut, but in case you missed it, here’s the lowdown: each winning Storyteller will be flown to an exotic destination after a stop-over in Singapore, at the world-renowned Changi Airport. Yep, basically the best airport ever.
Once at their destination their job is simple: to find the most interesting story they can, and then tell us about it. Armed with a camera, a notebook, $1000 cash, and an inquisitive mind, these four storytellers will have five night’s accommodation, no set itinerary, and the week of a lifetime.
The Storytellers can use words, video, photos or all of the above, and when they’re back in Australia they’ll work with one of Junkee’s editors to turn their story into an amazing piece.
After publishing each of the four stories on Junkee this November, our readers will vote for their favourite — and the overall winner will receive $4000, and become a Junkee contributor.
If all this is news to you, we bet you’re glad you caught up.
Applications close on Monday October 6. If you’ve been looking for something to throw yourself into, you’ve found it. Apply now.
