What is the Icelandair giveaway?

Icelandair is Iceland’s flag-carrier airline, and they want to prove that even the worst photographer can take great photos of the Northern European island country (because it’s so beautiful).

Yes, they are really looking for the worst photographer.

Here is the prize:

  • All-expenses-paid 10-day trip to Iceland
  • 50000 USD amount
  • Your photo in their global campaign

 

Here are the logistics:

  • Trip is in June 2026
  • Giveaway ends April 30, 2026

 

Here are the eligibility requirements:

  • Must not be a professional photographer
  • Must be willing to create content on the trip
  • Must be able to hike (it’s Iceland after all)
  • Must be willing to sign a contractor agreement
  • Must have a clean criminal record
  • Must be 21 years or older
  • Must have a valid passport

Iceland is obviously beautiful… but it’s also one of the most terribly expensive countries among the 77 I’ve visited. Getting a free trip there sure sounds nice!
