To celebrate a successful 10 years with Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the State of Washington, and the Cities of Seattle, Tacoma and SeaTac, we’re awarding 10 days of prizes with our valued partners from Iceland and Washington state.
This October, Seattle hosts the return of the Taste of Iceland festival – the best way to learn, enjoy, and celebrate Icelandic culture before boarding a flight to the Land of Fire & Ice! Get involved to experience authentic Icelandic food, drink, music, film and literature. During the festival, Icelandair invites Washington to a very special contest – the #SEAcloseup Challenge – Icelandair’s biggest contest yet with a stunning 10-day grand prize trip to Iceland for you and a friend!
What is the #SEAcloseup Challenge?
From October 10-19, 2019, each day of this exciting social media challenge tests your mettle by having you guess the identity of a close-up image showing one of the many connections Seattle (sister city of Iceland’s capital ReykjavÃk) has with Iceland and Icelandic culture. It won’t be easy, but are you up to the challenge?
For a little test, or TASTE of Iceland in Seattle, can you guess this location? Find the answer at the bottom of this page!
