Last weeks to join Star Alliance’s 20th Anniversary Competition

Athens, 12 July 2017– Have you ever wondered what you would do if you won a million of Miles+Bonus  miles*.  Would you travel in Business Class? Would you choose a hotel and enjoy your holidays in a sun-drenched country? Well, join those travellers from across the globe already competing for their chance by participating in the Star Alliance 20th anniversary competition.  Just share a photo and a story about your favourite cultural experience and you could be on your way to becoming a mileage millionaire*. But hurry, you only have until July 31, 2017 to enter.

Participating in the competition is easy. Log on to www.staralliance.com/mileagemillionaire and if you are not already a member of a Star Alliance FFP, sign-up and receive a membership number online. Next, upload a profile picture, or selfie, together with a photo of your favourite cultural experience. A unique built-in photo tool will merge the two pictures and provide you with a choice of two personalised silhouettes, one of which you can use to enter the competition with. Then briefly describe your cultural experience, detailing what made it so special and how it relates to the broader Star Alliance Anniversary campaign theme of connecting people and cultures. Lastly, provide your contact information in case your entry is selected as a winner. The competition is available in all nine Star Alliance digital platform languages: Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), English, French, German, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. Judging will be carried out independently, by among others, Star Alliance’s 20th Anniversary partner, National Geographic. The winners will be announced on September 28th, 2017.

All entries go through a brief moderation process where they are screened for basic photographic resolution quality and other general criteria as specified in the competition Terms and Conditions. Once approved, they are then posted in the cultural experiences map for other travellers to view and interact with.

Thousands of Alliance frequent flyer members have already entered the global competition by sharing their favourite experiences ranging from some of the world’s most known, to some of the remotest destinations.  From the streets of Paris to the Antarctic wilderness; and from the monuments of Rome to the depths of the Galápagos - travellers looking for cultural inspiration need not look any further. Experiences from such far-flung places as Svalbard (a Norwegian archipelago located between mainland Norway and the North Pole) have been entered and can be found via the new Star Alliance cultural experiences map located on the competition homepage.  More than 1.5 million travellers have already navigated the map.
