Have you got the Mole Factor?

Calling all budding reporters and columnists - now is your chance to shine, and win a UK weekend break for two with Superbreak.

Following the success of our Secret Agent and Guest Comment slots, we are inviting travel agents to be an integral part of our new-look website, being unveiled soon.

You donÃ¢â¬â¢t need to sing or dance (or have a dramatic sob story) to be the winner of Mole Factor.

Instead, you must have the ability to entertain your fellow Travelmole subscribers with your personal take on whatÃ¢â¬â¢s going on in the industry.

Whether you want to share the every day frustrations of your job, report on a recent familiarisation trip, on your experience of last weekÃ¢â¬â¢s World Travel Market, or just share your opinion of current industry issues with your peers, we would love to hear from you.

Our panel of expert judges will be looking for writers who are able to capture the interest of Travelmole subscribers and who can demonstrate a real insight into the workings of the industry.

Entries can be serious, tongue-in-cheek, factual, or with imaginative flair, and on any travel-related subject.

The competition is open to travel agents working in all sectors of the industry, whether for one of the big high street chains, an online player, an independent agency or as a home worker.

If you prefer, you can become a contributor without revealing your identity Ã¢â¬' which means you can spill the beans without your boss knowing!

The best entries will be published on the site and the winner will be given a regular slot on our daily newswire.

The winner will also get a weekend hotel break in the UK with Superbreak, in a twin or double room and on a B&B basis, to be taken any time in 2009, subject to availability.

If you think youÃ¢â¬â¢ve got the Mole Factor, email a report or comment piece of no more than 500 words to editor@travelmole.com by December 19.

We look forward to hearing from you.
