Children in Watford with a taste for adventure are being offered the chance of becoming an official published travel writer for a UK airline and holiday operator.

Monarch Holidays is searching for Watford’s best junior travel writer, aged between seven and 14, to jet away on a trip with their family to the Be Live Playa la Arena resort in Tenerife.

The winner’s review of the trip will then be published on Monarch’s blog and in one of the airline’s editions of its inflight magazine, Passport, which is available on every one of Monarch’s flights and read by more than one million passengers per issue.

Ian Chambers, head of digital and marketing from Monarch Airlines, said: "This really is the job of a lifetime - where else can young wannabe travel writers with a love of exploration win the ultimate holiday with their family, filled with unforgettable experiences, then get to showcase their writing talent to UK and international readers?

"We are on the hunt for the most promising young travel writing talent to review the outstanding holiday experiences on offer to our customers. The winner’s travel piece will be seen by millions of holidaymakers, and will shape travellers’ future holiday plans - this role comes with some real responsibility.

"We know there is a wealth of talent out there, and we’re calling on promising young travel writers with a sense of adventure to get scribbling and tell us all about their perfect break. Whether it’s a diving holiday discovering hidden shipwrecks, or speeding down the slopes on a snowboarding adventure, we want them to let their imagination run away and show us what a great travel writer they would be."

Entrants should write about their perfect holiday in no more than 300 words. Entries will be judged by a panel, and the winner will be selected based on the quality of writing, grammar, use of vocabulary, creativity, and the fun expressed in the entry. To enter and be in with a chance of winning an all-inclusive seven-night holiday for a family of four to Tenerife, email a submission to monarch@bigdogagency.com.

The closing date is Friday, July 3, and the family needs to be able to travel before October 31, 2015.
