With this essay competition ending in just a few weeks, there’s a really good chance you can win a free biz class ticket to London or beyond and fly with some other entrepreneurs and frequent flyer types. British Airways is dedicating three entire planes, flying from New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles toward what they call, “The Face of Opportunity.”

You have until July 31 to write an essay telling British Airways what you could accomplish if you had the chance to have meetings abroad.

The prize? First, a send off event with other winners before your flight to London from New York, Chicago or Los Angeles. Then, in London, networking opportunities and insights on growing your business internationally from top business leaders and government officials. Finally, continue on your own path, to wherever British Airways flies, to have the meetings you need to move your business forward. The return date is open.

For the essay, tell British Airways what opportunities you would take advantage of – whether they are meetings with potential investors, visits to distributors, or introductions to new clients. That’s all.

Here’s the tip. There will be 1,000 winners and so far … only 1,000 people have submitted essays. Surely you think you’ve got the stuff to out-write a few hundred or even a thousands others but right now, the odds look pretty good for you to be a winner.
