International TEFL Academy Article Contest

International TEFL Academy is excited to announce a new article contest focused on our teachers who have already taught English abroad and have moved onto the next thing -whether that’s teaching English in a new country, living abroad but transitioning to a new career, or returning home and transitioning to something new altogether. This article contest is focused on the ‘What next?’ that many of us are confronted with when we're teaching abroad. The contest will have three different categories for article submissions. All alumni who successfully complete an article in any category will receive a $35 payment within 5 business days of submission. In addition, a $100 grand prize will be awarded to the winner of each category below:
  • Category A – I’m teaching English abroad in my second country.
  • Category B – I’m still living abroad, but I’m not teaching English anymore.
  • Category C -  I’ve returned to my home country. Here’s what I’m up to now.
ITA will be accepting submissions from June 1 – August 31, 2018.

Guidelines for article submission:
  • You must provide 1 main photo of yourself.
    • Photo must be of good quality: at least 1000 pixels wide (or must be at least 2 MB)
    • Please do not submit dark and/or blurry pictures
  • Articles must be between 700-1,500 words.
  • Alumni must have taught abroad for a minimum of 6 months in their first country. Please note that this contest is focused on the transition from that first English teaching experience to your next experience, whether it’s teaching English in another country, living abroad and working in another capacity, or returning home and transitioning to another experience.
  • Original content, this is the first time it has been on the internet including your blog (plagiarism is also a no-no)
  • You must submit 5 or more photos. Photos can be in the classroom, with friends, traveling, etc.! 
Each person who successfully submits an article will receive $35 via PayPal or a digital Amazon Gift Card (see the bottom of the questionnaire for more details).

Winners will be announced in early September 2018.
