The “Dear Belize” contest started on May 1, and invites literally anyone in the world to record a 10-60 second video telling Belize why you want to go there, or any memories you have from going there before.
Just to jog your memory, this is a country with some of the best diving in the Americas and the longest barrier reef in the northern hemisphere. It’s also full of Mayan ruins, tropical rainforests, pristine beaches, and pretty much everything else you’ve been dreaming about while trying to resist another episode of Too Hot to Handle.
The tourism board encourages all kinds of creativity in submitted videos, from props to costumes to musical instruments. You can reprise some of your favorite TikTok song parodies, make up a dance, or just talk to the camera. Really the door is wide open, you just have to start the video with “Dear Belize.” And please, no profanity.
The winning video will receive round-trip airfare for two to Belize along with seven days and eight nights at a luxury resort. The contest runs through May 29, and though the winner will be chosen at random, the best videos will be featured on the tourism board’s website, potentially launching a career of internet stardom. That is, if you haven’t already found it with your groundbreaking TikTok dance routines.
