Walkopedia is not about peak-bagging or self-flagellation. We will judge your writing or your photographs based on how vividly and passionately they convey your experiences on your walk or hike. Whether you are writing about or photographing your wander through a city, a trek up in the mountains or even a quick walk to the shops, we like to see conciseness and humour in writing, and a lively and evocative eye for what's going on around you in all entries.

The judges for the travel writing competition are

William Mackesy, travel writer and founder of Walkopedia.
William Fiennes, best-selling author of Snow Geese and co-founder of First Story.
Serena Mackesy, best-selling author, travel writer and journalist.
