Win a Trip to Curacao—and a Chance at an Island-Wide $500,000 Treasure Hunt

In these all-too-real times of economic distress, it’s refreshing when we see a tourism organization introduce a bit of fantasy. Curacao—a small gem of a Caribbean island in the Dutch Antilles, just miles north of South America—launched the Curacao Treasure Hunt contest on March 16, where participants can enter for a chance to win one of 70 free trips to the island, awarded daily through May 23. Sign up, answer a trivia question correctly, and your entry that day is secure. You can try every day, as many times as you want. Win one of those trips, and you could also become one of ten lucky participants in an island-wide treasure hunt this August, with a grand prize of half a million dollars (now that’s what we call “economic stimulus”).
But if you don’t win that grand prize, rest assured: There are lots of other riches to be found in Curacao, from world-class dive sites like the Mushroom Forest and the Curacao Sea Aquarium's Dolphin Academy to the annual Carnival celebrations, lively music scene, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed capital Willemstad.
Curacao will also unveil a contest-specific iPhone “Hidden Treasure app,” the first mobile application created specifically for the contest.
In April, Away.com will launch an interactive guide to Curacao, including photo galleries, screensavers, and lists of the top attractions, dive sites, hotels, beaches, and more. So check back soon!

Curacao = paradise on earth! Can't wait for my next visit in february. I'm really curious about the winners though, is there a webpage where I can actually see the results?

How can we find out the results of the contest? I would like to post them on TheCuracaoIsland.com with your permission.
