If you’re thinking about applying …

If you’re thinking about applying for a Swedish island, first of all, I’m jealous (as a Swede, I’m not eligible), and second, I highly recommend going for island #1: Tjuvholmen. It’s a charming little island, not far from the cabin where I spent my summers as a kid. I’ll come visit if you win!

Also, I love this bit from the FAQ:

Is the initiative open to everyone?
The competition is open to all international travellers (except billionaires) aged 18 and above.

Billionaires not welcome. 😋
