The Michael Jacobs Travel Writing Grant, now in its 12th season with the purpose of encouraging travel writing, awards $10,000 to a book or travel article project about Latin America or Spain, to be published in Spanish or English.

The jury will consider the narrative quality and journalistic depth of the projects when choosing the winner. For Michael Jacobs, travel journalism goes beyond mere anecdotal experience, and therefore they seek works capable of awakening the five senses and opening the mind of any reader.
