To enter, what you need to do is explain why you should get the once-in-a-lifetime trip. The prize includes flights Cairns, Australia, an overnight stay, snorkel tour and scuba dive, along with lunch prepared by Australian chef on a nearby coral sand island.

The competition is in partnership with Pixar to celebrate the release of Finding Dory, which will be set in the Great Barrier Reef. The winners will also be treated to a private screening of the film on a nearby beach.
