Aimed at encouraging interest in tourism marketing, the first-ever CVB Travel Writing Scholarship, challenges local students to create a 400-750 word blog post, with photos, to entice visitors to the area. Seniors from Bret Harte and Calaveras High Schools, who best highlight area recreation, adventure, activities, places, events and/or area history and demonstrate an excellence in writing, will be selected to receive one of four $500 scholarships. Additionally, their work will be featured on the CVB blog, Calaveras Bloggin’, this spring.

Applications are available in each district. Students interested in applying for the scholarship can pick up the necessary paperwork from Carla Rolleri at Bret Harte or Terri Tanner at Calaveras. Applications and blog posts are due by February 15, 2013 to be considered for the scholarship. Winners will be selected and announced by March 1, 2013.

“We’re excited to get students interested in tourism marketing and involved with the CVB since attracting visitors to our area is responsible for so much of our local economy,” said Lisa Boulton, Executive Director of the Calaveras Visitors Bureau. “Additionally, it’s a great opportunity for students who are interested in journalism and marketing to explore these career paths before heading off to college, as well as build their portfolios for future job opportunities.”
