Minto Travel Competition 2022

2022 is going to be a summer worth celebrating! With restrictions easing and everybody getting out again, travelling the world far and wide, and getting on their much-needed holidays abroad, now feels like the perfect time to relaunch Minto’s travel competition…

A huge success back in 2019 with entries coming all the way from New York to Australia, the Minto travel competition is simple: all you have to do is pack a Minto product of any kind whether it’s a mug or a charger into your suitcase and send us a snap from wherever your travels take you – our favourite photo EVERY month, wins! Running across the summer months, we will be selecting a winner in May, June, July, August AND September with all winners getting a very special Minto goodie bag, but that’s not all -

Everyone who sends in a picture from their adventures will have the exclusive chance to feature in our 2023 calendar!

‍Stuck for inspiration? We are on the hunt for the most creative and innovative photos EVERY MONTH that bring the summer heat whether you’re up a mountain, by the pool, or in front of some iconic landmarks.

So, if you’re heading away to soak in the sun this summer, make sure you show us where you’ve been and what Minto product you’ve been using.

‍If you don't have any Minto products, then don't worry, I think we have a few Americano's around we can set you up with, just get in touch today and we can have one ready and waiting for you!

Minto Goodie Bag includes; Drawsting Minto backpack, Minto notebook & pen, Minto Americano mug, a Minto ‘allroundo® c’ All-in-One Charging Cable, and some delicious Walkers Shortbread!
