Marina Mirage Port Douglas Meridien Marinas www.meridin.com.au

Since 2000 we’ve been running world online competitions.

These have been very popular with our audience. Boaters have won everything from charter holidays, to offshore wet weather gear, inshore jackets and this year we broke new ground with our Win a Laser competition won by Holly Curtis, a 16 year old sailor from Hamilton in New Zealand’s North Island.

Now we have a very different prize from those in our previous competitions.

Win a Lifetime of Free Berthing – Prize value over AUD$300,000.

The prize is, at maximum, a 16m berth at any of Meridien Marinas locations including Abel Point Marina at Airlie Beach, Port Douglas and the Gold Coast, for a term of up to 25 years.

Can you imagine what a Gold Coast 16 metre berth will cost in 2030?

The winner will be judged on the best response to the question 'In 25 words or less tell us why you deserve to a win a lifetime of free berthing, a prize worth over $300,000.'

With airfares ever reducing, you don’t have to live in Queensland or even own or part-own a boat yet, but certainly one big step towards the cost of a boat will disappear if you are the winner!! But of course you have to enter to win!!

Promotion runs until the end of the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show 2010 in late Enter here now
