Update 30 August 2010 – The competition winners are 5 Little Elves, an Icelandic family; Hjörtur (Dad), Inga Rós (Mum), and their lovely five kids.  I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who voted for me, I think I ended up in about 460th.

The winners of the Greatest Holiday in the World

I’ve entered Radisson Blu’s “Greatest Holiday in the World” travel competition, which has a prize of 365 hotel night stays.  However if I win, I’d like to share my good fortune with some of my friends on Facebook and Twitter, as a way of saying a big thank you for them for all their help and support in building up the profile and readership of the Europe a la Carte Blog through social media channels.  I’ve created a “Sharing the Greatest Holiday in the World” Facebook page where you can read daily updates on the quest to win this travel competition.

Sharing the Greatest Holiday in the World

Every day I’ll be tweeting a special thanks to one of my Twitter friends that I’d invite to share my “Greatest Holiday in the World ” travel competition prize nights.

The winner will be the person who gets the most online votes. You can vote once a day, every day until the 24 July 2010, so please vote for me.  The competition rules allow the winner to use their prize nights towards rooms for accompanying family or friends. Radisson Blu have hotels in some lovely European destinations I’d love to visit such as Biarritz and Budapest, so we could have some great travel tweet ups and blog trips.

I stayed in the Radisson Blu Waterfront Jersey, on the Channel Islands, earlier this year, so I know that staying in their hotels will be a real treat for us all (and they offer free wifi to all guests).
