ABBA, Ikea, Robyn, Acne, gummy fish -- we're like a tween with Beiber Fever when it comes to Swedish design, culture, and foodstuffs. We just can't help falling in love over and over, especially when experiencing it on their home turf. (This comes as no surprise to loyal Out magazine readers, where last November we chronicled "82 Things We Love About Sweden".)
Now's your chance to get woo'd, too.
Enter the Win A Date With Stockholm contest for a chance to visit one of Europe’s Gay Greats absolut-ly free. A genius promotion from Visit Stockholm, peruse one of six categories from a short list of savvy, sexy Stockholm chaperones. (Remember this is the land that birthed Alexander Skarsgard.) Are you into sports? A foodie? Keen on arts or culture? Fashion or design? Or just want to dance it up through the midnight sun? Simply vote for your favorite to enter to win. And before you know it you could be shopping with Magnus or biking with Lars, or if you're a lez lady, dining with Anna or clubbing with Pamela. Check out the fun promo video below (made in the vein of that awesome Aussie gay marriage video last year).
Date Prize Package includes:
-- two round-trip airline tickets on SAS Scandinavian Airlines
-- three-day stay in a stylish hotel
-- guided tour of the city with your chosen Stockholm native.
You have until June 30to cast your vote. Four US-based winners will be chosen. We think this could be the beginning of a life-long romance.
