With three decades of experience as the world’s leading all-inclusive resort company dedicated to two people in love, Sandals Resorts gears up for the contest of a lifetime: to find the most romantic, moving and creative tale of love with its Greatest Love Story Contest.
The six-month, worldwide search kicked off this Valentine’s Day, and will culminate with an announcement of the winners on 15th October 2011. The contest launch coincides with the 30th anniversary of Sandals Resorts, strengthening the company’s status as the authority on romantic getaways.
Contestants can upload a video of their personal love story to www.sandals.co.uk/greatestlovestory. Every month for six months, Sandals Resorts’ panel of judges will pick a finalist, and the public will have the opportunity to vote online for their favourite video as the seventh “popular vote” finalist.
Videos that are chosen each month will become eligible for either the contest’s grand prize or runner-up prizes. Throughout the contest, each monthly finalist will be featured on www.sandals.co.uk/greatestlovestorywhere they will share their romantic story with the world.
The couple whose story is considered by Sandals Resorts to be the most compelling will be swept away for an eight-day/seven-night Luxury Included® holiday to Sandals Montego Bay in Jamaica, the company’s very first resort, and will be invited to attend the company’s exclusive 30th Anniversary Celebration. The couple will stay in one of the resort’s luxurious, butler-serviced Love Nest Suites, complete with private luxury airport transfers, and will be treated to a Beautiful Beginnings-themed Sandals Wedding by Martha Stewart™ or a complimentary vow renewal ceremony. In addition to round-trip airline tickets, the grand prize winner will also receive a signature West Indian couples’ massage at the award-winning, Caribbean-inspired Red Lane® Spa plus a Lovers Rock Sunset Catamaran Cruise from Island Routes Caribbean Adventure Tours.
On 15th October, Sandals Resorts will reveal the Greatest Love Story Contest’s grand prize winning couple. The six remaining finalists will win a four-day/three-night Luxury Included® holiday for two to any Sandals Resort, located in Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Antigua, and the Bahamas.
As a part of their Luxury Included® stay at a Sandals Resort, all seven finalist couples will have the opportunity to indulge in the romantic holiday experience that Sandals Resorts has been perfecting for the last thirty years, with unlimited gourmet dining options at up to 15 specialty restaurants, premium brand-beverages including Blue Mountain Coffee, wines by Beringer Vineyards and El Dorado Rum, all land and water sports including offshore snorkelling and scuba diving, nightly entertainment and airport transfers.
All entries must be submitted by 14th August 2011 for consideration. For more details and to enter, couples can visit www.sandals.co.uk/greatestlovestory.
