Website wants the Wight to win

Turn the camera on your favourite Isle of Wight spot and you could win My Destination's Biggest, Baddest Bucket List competition.

TRAVEL website My Destination has launched a competition in which the Isle of Wight could be the real winner.

My Destination Isle of Wight is part of the international network of My Destination websites, which has launched the Biggest, Baddest Bucket List competition with a prize of $50,000 and a six month, round the world, expenses-paid trip.

Entrants have to make a short video about a destination of their choice, along with a blog and photos and My Destination Isle of Wight hopes it could be a great chance to promote the Island.

Managing director Rebecca Mobsby said: "When My Destination Isle of Wight told the Visit Isle of Wight and Wightlink about the Biggest, Baddest Bucket List, they were just as excited as us and have decided to get involved.

"Why? Well just like us, they can see that this global competition could be a fantastic way to spread the word about our beautiful island.

"Imagine if the Isle of Wight could encourage lots of video entries about the Isle of Wight, which will be viewed and voted for by people all over the world? Even better, imagine if the Isle of Wight video gets to the top ten or even wins?!"

To encourage Island entries, a separate competition has been organised, with its own prize.

The prize includes a five-night luxury camping experience at Tom’s Eco Lodge for up to six people, an adventure day for four people thanks to Isle of Wight Adventure Activities and Wightlink is offering free travel for one car.

Entries must be submitted by March 31 via www.mydestination.com
