A new online competition at http://winterdream.austria.info allows anyone to post their details of their dream winter holiday in the Alps. The most original and imaginative will win their winter dream come true!
The competition’s organisers, the Austrian National Tourist Office, suggest entrants, “Let your imagination run free as you post your dreams.” And provide a few ideas of their own, including having the ice rink outside Vienna’s Town Hall all to yourself as you jump and twirl, or timing yourself on a speed skating lap.?
The best dreams will be judged by a panel, but your chances of winning will increase if as many of your friends as possible vote for you online.
One oi the most popular dreams so far comes from Mike who says, “I would wish for an unforgettable 10th anniversary for me and my wife. I’d like to ski down the closed – off piste, just the two of us, at the Sonnbergkogel, where we met 12 years ago, followed by a romantic overnight stay in the best local hotel.”
Another entrant wants to be driven in a 4-man bobsleigh down the run at Igls in Innsbruck by the Austrian national bobsleigh team.
While a more charity minded entrant, Vanessa, says her winter dream is to stroll round the Christmas Market in Salzburg on a snowy day with a group of 20 underprivileged children and to be able to fulfil their every wish.
The competition closes on 11th November.
