Finland's dating contest tempts Aussies with free romantic getaway
Finland is offering 16 singles free trips in February 2027 for blind group dinners.
Visit Finland is running a dating competition. The competition offers free trips to Australia's single people.
Applicants must submit videos explaining what they would cook on a first date. Sixteen winners will be selected.
They will get all-expenses-paid four-day trips in February 2027. Eight will go to Helsinki and eight to Tampere.
The actual dates are blind group dinners with strangers. Local Finnish singles will also join.
The campaign draws inspiration from Sinkkukori. That is a Finnish trend where single shoppers use pink baskets in supermarkets to signal they are available.
