We’re always up for a challenge here at Global Grasshopper headquarters so when Cosmos asked to enter their fun and slightly off-the-wall competition we were happy to oblige! The competition is about showing exactly where you want to be right now (i.e your perfect holiday destination) by getting creative with everyday items you have hanging around your house. The winning entrant will win a holiday for four people to either Ibiza, Madeira, Lanzarote or Corfu, not bad huh?
I know that during the dead of winter many people dream of sunnier climes but not me! I dream of having fun on pristine slopes dotted with snow capped pine trees – specifically Villars in Switzerland. One of the most idyllic winter holiday destinations we’ve ever seen.
So went about creating this at home. We got the whole family involved, my mum and little niece made some us snowcapped pine trees and the snowball is really a candle – I bet you really can’t tell! Ahem. The snow effect we added on afterwards. Okay it’s not quite the Swiss Alps but I think you can get the picture – almost! I have to admit it was quite a fun afternoon and we’ve also loved looking at all the other creative entries, check them out for yourself on Twitter under #wishiwasreallyhere
Fancy entering for yourself? All you have to do is depict your favourite holiday destination in a photo or a video by thinking outside the box and getting as creative as possible. You’ve got nothing to lose and you never know you might just land yourself a week’s holiday for four people!

11 March, 2015 at 9:46 pmVery fun competion! I would like to be in Russia right now 🙂 No matter it’s winter now and it’s cold in Russia. I imagine myself at Red Square drinking tea and observing people. Later I would go in shopping and enjoying Moscow nightlife.

13 February, 2015 at 4:44 pmIt must be a lot of fun to be there now. Good choice! I’m sure you’ve had some great coffee with chocolate in mind too when you chose this place!! That’s actually my favorite in such climates and high altitudes.

11 February, 2015 at 8:45 pmWhat a fabulous and fun competition – I was always hopeless at art and design so I don’t think I’d even stand a chance but I must admit, it sounds like a lot of fun and I’m thinking maybe it’s worth a go?! Love your photo and it’s so sweet how you got the whole family involved!
