We’d really like to connect with the travel blogging community and get to know all of you out there who have travel blogs. We pay our writers between $75.00-$100.00 per post and our end goal is to build a top notch travel blog. Hopefully that will give all of you out there an incentive to participate in our hiring campaign.

In order to give as many travel bloggers as possible an opportunity to participate, we’re going to run the contest for two weeks. The deadline to enter will be Friday July 30th. The following travel Tuesday will do a roundup of all the entries and we’ll narrow it down to the 10 finalists. We’ll feature the articles of the finalists and the readers will vote on who should be the next blogger on the Flightster Staff.

Posts should be 300-500 words in length, contain only original content (except for brief quotations and links), and relate directly to the interests of collectible card gamers in specific games.
