I was actually thinking about this for a long time. The first idea was to run the contest til one week before the event but that gave people a window too small to react in case they won. Three weeks while being a short time, is not that short, but yeah plane tickets will be much more expensive than buying them months in advance. On the other hand, high season is just beginning in November so probably prices won't be thaaat high.
Last year we faced something similar, with the winner announcements around mid-October so we are hoping there's enough planning time.
Either way, we will be monitoring the engagement and overall attendance of the contest and the event and probably play with the dates to give people a chance to buy their plane ticket earlier.
I'm glad you saw this post, I was about to dm it to you :D
Yeah it's a tricky one - I guess if the eventual winner can't go then they could sell on the prize.
I'm going to try to enter at least some weeks, but unsure if I'll make 15k for the whole 16.
Seen and resteemed!
Is the prize transferable?
Good question, I don't think so but will ask @anomadsoul ...
