On my mind: Nomadic Matt has a contest tied to the 3rd edition of his book, How to Travel the World on $50 a Day.

Enter here, you need to purchase the new edition of the book and submit an essay. The winner needs to meet requirements such as journaling to receive the monthly payment.

Money and travel effort means it is not for the typical miles and points traveling. Instead, I see this as an interesting idea for an aspiring journalist or traveler that the entry process alone can focus their thinking.
