Prize Draw
The virtual forum’s prize draw for plane tickets
- Everyone who watches the virtual forum for Estonians across the globe on 2 May 2024 at 16.00 Estonian time can enter a prize draw and win return plane tickets for two to Estonia.
- The prize draw is held on 10 May at 12.00 Estonian time, and if you register for subsequent viewing of the virtual forum, you can still enter the draw until 9 May at 23.00 Estonian time.
- The flight must take place during the 2024 calendar year.
- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will contact the winner and will put them in touch with the travel agency in Tallinn where the tickets must be bought (they can be replaced with bus, ferry or train tickets).
- The prize includes a two-night stay at the Hotel in Tallinn.
- We are also offering the winner a tour at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs while they are in Estonia.
- As it is a big world and plane ticket fees vary enormously, there is a cap on the ticket price.
- Plane ticket price cap: economy class within Europe up to €600, rest of the world up to €1200.
