Million dollar prize from Tourism Queensland

Tourism Queensland is attempting to follow the success of its Best Job in The World campaign with a one million Australian dollar giveaway.

This time the winner will be a company and the prize is a £620,000 outing for its staff.

‘Million Dollar Memo’ will see workplaces from the UK and around the world go head-to-head by uploading a video of why their company deserves to win a luxury incentives-based trip to Queensland. 

A final shortlist of 20 applicants will then need to nominate one of their colleagues to travel to Queensland to take part in a series of incentives-based challenges to determine the overall winner.

The ultimate winner will then return to Queensland with as many colleagues as the company allows for an all-expenses paid trip.

Highlights for the winners will include helicopter trips to the Great Barrier Reef, Champagne private yacht charters around the Whitsunday Islands, playing golf on the best courses on the Sunshine Coast, lessons with a pro-surfer on the Gold Coast and seafood picnics on an idyllic Queensland beach.

Tourism Queensland’s international director Jane Nicholson said: “We’ve sent the Million Dollar Memo to thousands of companies and workplaces worldwide, including the UK and Ireland, inviting them to tell us why they are the best company in the world and why their employees deserve the million dollars. 

 “It doesn’t matter if you work for a global sporting company, a software giant or a small-town bakery, if you have 3000 employees or only three – the competition is open to workplaces around the world.”

To enter create an entertaining 60 second video that shows what makes your company great and why Queensland is the ultimate reward destination and submit it by May 1.
