Calling out all our festival junkies, this one’s for you.

Are you that person always feening for your next fezzie? Do you have your bum bag packed with glitter always at the ready, or have festival playlists on repeat year-round (all of which probably feature Untouched by the Veronicas)?

We bloody love ya commitment and good spirit – that’s why we’re giving you the chance to win the ultimate European festival gap year, aka The Greatest Gap Year on Earth. We’re teaming up with travel experts and absolute party chargers Stoke Travel to give one lucky winner the Euro summer of their life festival hopping across some of the world’s most iconic locations. This gap year will see you living it up in Ibiza, having bevs at Oktoberfest, getting jiggy in Barcelona plus so much more.

This is more than just a travelling gap year though – while you’re living it up, you’ll also be gaining unreal experience working alongside Stoke’s digital team to create content. So, if you consider yourself a bit of a creative this one is right up your alley. Get entering here.

So, what can I win?

Getting yourself to Europe is a bloody dream, but obviously not the easiest thing to whip up. That’s why Stoke has the winner of the Greatest Gap Year on Earth sorted with;

  • 1 x return airfare to Europe
  • A job with Stoke Travel for the 2020 European tour
  • Accommodation at Stoke HQ and at all festivals and tours
  • Free food and booze at all Stoke festivals
  • Entry into all Stoke festivals and parties
  • Transfers to and from Stoke festivals

What actually is the Greatest Gap Year on Earth and what will I be doing?

The Greatest Gap Year On Earth is a pretty unique job with Stoke Travel, in which your role is to pretty much jet around Europe hitting up its most iconic and unique summer festivals, all the while making some sick content alongside the legendary Stoke staff – covering all the events, parties and trip tours that happen along the way. You’ll do this by keeping a travel blog, writing some articles, as well as helping create some videos of all the shenanigans that go down.  Whilst this job is unpaid, majority of the expenses will be covered for you and the experiences you gain in travel, writing, social media and video creation will be invaluable.

The trip will begin in Barcelona on the 25th of June for the San Vino Wine Fight and finish up on the 25th of September in Munich for Oktoberfest. In between, there’s a whole range of events including the Ibiza Beach Camp, Jazzaldia, La Tomatina (the festival where you peg tomatoes at strangers… mood) and much more. And If you’re keen to continue your travels afterwards, no stress – just let Stoke know and they’ll help you work out a return flight when you’re ready to head back to Aus.  So, what are you waiting for? Get applying legends.

What if I don’t win, but I’m still super keen on this?

If you don’t win, don’t fret. Stoke Travel also offers the Stoke Passport, which will get you into four amazing Euro fezzies for the price of three, covering your accommodation and a tonne of your food while you’re there. Another major plus is that you have up to two years to make the most of the Passport… and who wouldn’t wanna chill out in Europe for two years?

There’s a heap of festivals to choose from – suss out the Stoke Passport over here.
