The Mega Story Hunt: Turn Your Story into an all-expense paid trip to Paris.
The Mega Story Hunt is a storytelling competition inspired by An Escape to Paris, inviting people to share captivating stories from their travel experiences whether local or international.
Participants are encouraged to tell a memorable story from a trip they’ve taken: funny, emotional, life changing, unexpected, or deeply personal while featuring a photo of the book in their submission. Entries can be shared as written posts or videos across social media using the hashtags #AETPMegaStoryHunt and #AnEscapeToParisBook.
To qualify, participants must follow Lawretta Egba across all social media platforms, as well as the Instagram page @anescapetoparis.
Prizes include an all expense paid trip to Paris or ₦3 million for the grand prize winner, a 3 day luxury getaway or ₦750,000 for the first runner up, and a premium dinner experience in Lagos or ₦250,000 for the third place winner. Exceptional entries may also be featured in a future compilation project.
More than a competition, The Mega Story Hunt is a celebration of storytelling, adventure, human connection, and the unforgettable moments that travel can create. It is rooted in the belief that even the most ordinary journeys can become extraordinary stories when told with honesty and heart. Winners will be selected by an esteemed panel of internationally acclaimed literary judges chaired by Taiwo Michael Oloyede – an award winning multidisciplinary artiste.
Entries close on May 30, 2026, and winners will be selected based on creativity, originality, authenticity, and emotional impact.
