How to Enter (It’s Easier Than You Think)
Don’t overthink it – we want to hear your ideas, rough edges and all.
What you need to do:
- Record a short 60–90 second video pitch for your new experience idea (seriously, your phone camera is perfect)
- Explain who it’s for, why now, and what makes it special – keep it genuine and conversational
- Submit your video and details via the Bókun Launchpad competition page
Your video doesn’t need to be polished. No fancy production, no scripting required. Just hit record, tell us your idea, and hit submit. We’re looking for passion and potential, not Hollywood.
Shortlisted entrants will present a live 5-minute virtual pitch to a panel of industry experts from GetYourGuide, Arival, Viator, Tourpreneur, Travel Trends Podcast, and Gray Line.
