8th ANNUAL 2024 CANADIAN CHAPTER SATW AWARDS

Submit your best work to the 8th Annual SATW Canadian Chapter Awards

Get recognized for your best work that appeared in 2023 by applying to win a coveted SATW Canadian Chapter award! Starting July 1, members in good standing can submit their 2023 works to be considered.

The 8th annual SATW Canadian Chapter Awards recognize the best writing, photography, virtual storytelling and – new this year – Women’s Stories. This new category is in response to members requests and, we think reflects how travel storytelling is evolving.

Submit stories, photography, video, films, podcast, TV, etc. you have had published/broadcasted between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2023, and our panel of expert judges will choose the top pieces to win. Winners in each category will not only receive formal recognition for their best work, but cash prizes as well. You have until September 1, 2024 to submit!

Read the full rules and instructions to submit here.
