The International Confederation of Wizards is holding a contest to give away a free trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park!
The prize includes the winners’ round-trip airfare, park admission, hotel accommodations and a $100 Visa Gift Card for each fan for each day of their stay. 100% of the funds (donations, sponsorships, and contributions) will go directly toward expenses such as airfare, park admission, transportation, hotel accommodations and spending money given to the winners.
They are actually looking to do this on a regular basis — as often as they can raise the funds to send people on the trip! They’re estimating costs of $4,000 per trip. Even though they’ve only raised about $600, so far, the first contest is currently in effect, requiring fans to post a video to the Organization’s YouTube Channel answering the question “Why should the fandom choose me to be sent to Orlando to enjoy a vacation at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter?”
Contestants upload their video post to the Organization’s YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/confederationwizards).
Entries will be accepted until the organization’s financial goal has been met. When the goal is reached, ICOW will announce a remaining thirty-day period for entries to be submitted. At the cut-off point, the ICOW staff and financial contributors will pre-select 50 “top videos” which will then be placed on the ICOW website. The general public is then able to vote during a two-week period during which they will select who should receive the 4-day trip.
CONTEST REQUIREMENTS:
- Be 18+, or apply with a family member or friend who is 18+
- Reside in either US/UK/Canada/South America
- You’ve Never Been to WWoHP
- You Have Traveling Credentials (if traveling outside US)
- You’ve Read All The Books
- You Submit a Video Response to THIS Video; answering the question “Why Should the Fandom Choose YOU to Send to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter?”
I’m still reading the last Harry Potter book, so I wouldn’t even qualify. Here’s the video announcing the contest.
