Hiking in Machu Picchu

Ask ten travelers their definition of adventure travel and you'll get ten different answers. If they've entered the competition for Outside magazine's first annual Adventure Grant, one of them might win a $10,000 endowment.? To celebrate its 35th anniversary, the magazine will "help fund a smart, creative, and (perhaps) slightly foolhardy project" that will be featured? in an upcoming issue.

The types of far-out ideas, according to the magazine, include sailing a homemade raft down the Hudson River, walking a perfectly straight line across Canada's Prince Edward Island, and paddling a canoe from Portland, Oregon, to Portland, Maine.

To enter,? go to Outside Adventure Grant, read the application carefully then create a 500-word essay outlining your idea and explaining why it's so unique.? Entry deadline is May 8.
