Last chance to win that £3,000 travel bursary

Friday 31 mar 06 at the end of the week after next is the closing date for entries to this year’s Geoffrey Roberts Award.
 
Anyone who wants to try to convince us judges that they deserve £3,000 ($5,500) to spend on a food- or drink-related travel project should visit www.geoffreyrobertsaward.com for more details of this international Award made in memory of a pioneering importer of New World wines into the UK.
 
Last year’s winner was Mary Taylor of New Zealand who used her bursary to help victims of a tsunami in a Sri Lankan fishing community. The 2004 Award was won by Georgian wine producer Shalva Khetsuriani who visited leading winemakers in France with the aim of upgrading techniques and knowledge in this cradle of viticulture.
