W...hile i was on the website i didn't find anything about travel fees or volunteer fees.

Hi Ashleigh, the topic for the contest is actually very broad. The basic idea is to write something promoting our mission of cross cultural understanding and respect, but participants may take that topic anywhere they would like. For the full set of rules, check out our website at http://www.unitedplanet.org/upday.html.
