Korea Tourism Organisation is running series of online contests via its Korea 100 Sparkles campaign, with USD30,000 prizes to give away, and opportunities to meet some of the top Korean celebrities.
The big prizes require some creativity and work. Sharing here the easier one… watch the video below, The 5 Most Popular Tourist Destinations in Korea, and leave a comment on Youtube telling which place is your favourite and why.
Main prize is two round trip airline tickets to South Korea; contest ends on November 10. Check out the video even if you are not interested with the opportunity; pretty nice stuff…

Taiwan tourism bureau is trying to emulate the buzz of the Best Job in The World with their very own Best Trip in The World contest.
The participating teams (of at least two) will have to create a money-saving, yet creative four-day itinerary for a trip in Taiwan.
50 teams that come up with the best itineraries will be selected to execute their travel plan and share their stories with approx. $850 USD allowance provided. The teams will then stand the chance to win the $30,000 USD grand prize.
The idea is pretty much the same as their 2008 campaign, albeit a bit different with the prize money distribution; and off course, a new BEST blah blah theme.
Expiry date on June 30, contest opened to all nationalities if not mistaken; check its official website for details.

Hallyuwood.com is running a contest in celebration of Chuseok holiday; the prize… a Korean pop star Lee Hyori’s style-book (five to be won).
Not sure how nice the book is, but it’s something that is not easy to grab hold of if you are not from Korea. It’s a chance not to be missed for Hyori and K-pop fans.
Just head over, follow the instructions and stand a chance to win the prize. The contest expires on the last day of Chuseok, which should mean by the end of Monday (Sept 15); the clock is ticking… hurry up :p
