National Best Job 'Battle Royale': Canadians Go Head-to-Head to Win an Epic (And Well Paid) Cross-Canada Adventure
TORONTO, July 19, 2021 /CNW/ - Canadians have spoken, the votes are in, and Hipcamp - the world's largest provider of outdoor stays - has selected six finalists for Canada's Best Summer Job.
Beginning August 9, the contest winner will spend 40 days adventuring across Canada, camping and glamping at 20 of Hipcamp's most beautiful sites along the way. The winner will receive a prize of $20,000 CAD, along with a stipend for food and travel expenses. Their job? To create blog or vlog content along the way. The winner also has the chance to become 'Canada famous' through a series of local media interviews as they travel across the country.
Your Finalists need votes (and media coverage)
Finalists will compete to get as many votes as possible before July 26 to help them take the top prize. Winner selection is based on a combination of the total number of eligible votes, an interview with Hipcamp staff, overall technical ability, and creative experience.
All finalists will be available for media interviews this week

How does the competition work?
New applications for Canada's Best Summer Job are now closed.
All finalists will push for votes and appear in local media to encourage their hometowns to vote for their entry online before voting for finalists officially closes on July 26, 2021.
One successful candidate will be announced as the winner of Canada's Best Summer Job on August 2, 2021.
The successful candidate will start work on August 9, 2021, and spend the next 40 days blogging or vlogging about their experiences at 20 of Hipcamp's best outdoor stays in Canada.
Is this really a job? Is the salary really $20k CAD for only 40 days of work?
Yes, and yes. By the way, that works out to about $62.50 an hour (based on an 8-hour-day!) We are sincerely looking to collaborate with someone who has a huge personality and some social media skills to document some of Hipcamp's top outdoor stays in Canada.
Canadians will determine the best of the best by voting for their favourite finalist here: https://canadasbestsummerjob.hipcamp.com
