You know that expression ‘you’ve got to be in it to win it’? Well now there’s no excuse! I thought it would be helpful to do a roundup of all the current travel related comps out there so you can enter them in an instant. Why not take your lunchbreak/evening to do something so simple (most are literally just popping down your deets) and cross your fingers to wait and hear if you’ve won. I won’t even ask you to take me with you*.

Please check if you are eligible to enter depending where in the world you’re from. Closing dates vary. T’s & C’s apply etc etc.

Visited any jaw droppingly beautiful national parks, jungles or mountains recently? That’s the subject of Intrepid’s monthly photo competition in April.

Win a Poldark inspired Holiday
From my twitter feed it seems everyone has gone a bit doolally over the new BBC Poldark series. Thanks to Visit Cornwall you can win a trip to this beautiful part of the UK, where many scenes were filmed, and get utterly pampered in a swanky hotel plus horse riding and kayaking excursions. Simply fill in the form to enter.
Ontario Wilderness with Ray Mears
Wow this is a biggie. You could win a trip for two people not just to Ontario, Canada but you get to spend it with adventure legend Ray Mears! That is going to be a trip you will never forget and possibly the most perfect travel companion if anything goes wrong.
If lazing on tropical sandy beaches is more your thing then this is the perfect prize for you. The Guardian and British Airways have teamed up to offer one lucky winner (plus travel buddy) a weeks holiday to idyllic Mauritius, staying in the first eco-friendly hotel on the island. Just looking at the dreamy photo is making my feet itch!
Wishing you ALL the luck in the world!
