The Wildest Dreams travel challenge
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For anyone aged between 18 and 35 there are only a couple of weeks left to apply for funding for your wildest travel dream. Heineken, in association with the Independent, is offering up to pounds 25,000 to help those in search of adventure, but the closing date is 26 April.
How to enter
Application forms are available by calling the special hotline number 0171-231 5432, or through the Lonely Planet Internet hhtp://www,lonelyplanet.com.au; or from STA Travel shops.
How much is the prize?
Heineken has a total bursary of pounds 25,000 but the awards are at the judges' discretion. They may decide that several travel projects deserve funding, or they may feel one exceptional proposal (say a tour of the 177 countries where Heineken Export is available) should win the full amount...
