What do you love most about being on the Isle of Wight? A new competition is asking us to simply reveal what we love most about the Island.
'I Love Wight Because' aims to highlight everything that is wonderful about the Island - with staycation treats and travel prizes up for grabs.
Wightlink is inviting Islanders to make short selfie smartphone videos (maximum 15 seconds) explaining why they love the Isle of Wight.
The ferry firm will share the best ones on social media to spread the word far and wide and collate the best ones on a gallery wall.
🎥 Start by saying 'I Love Wight Because...'

Top tips for the best videos:
- Keep it short, you only have 15 seconds
- Start off by saying “I Love Wight because….”
- Be passionate!
- No need for a tripod. Selfie mode on your smartphone will be fine
- Choose a great location to make your video stand out
- Make sure there’s plenty of light, don’t be in shadow
- Sound effects are fun but don’t let background noise, like wind, spoil the video
The competition will run until Saturday, 31 July.
I Love Wight Because videos should be posted on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook with the hashtag #ilovewightbecause
