This European country is giving away five of their 267,570 islands - this is how to get one

"Visit Sweden is giving five lucky winners a certificate and the personal right to use a designated Swedish island for one year under a right-of-use agreement, which does not confer ownership rights."

"In addition to granting free rein of a Swedish isle for a whole 12 months, prizes also include a travel voucher entitling the winner and a companion to round-trip travel to Sweden."

"The five islands up for grabs are Tjuvholmen, Medbådan, Skötbådan, Storberget, and Marsten, with more information available for each."

"For fear of being the ultimate killjoys, it's worth noting that the islands 'up for grabs' are little more than verdant, rocky outcrops."

Visit Sweden is launching a competition where five winners can use a designated private island for one year. The initiative includes a travel voucher for round-trip travel to Sweden for the winner and a companion. The islands available are Tjuvholmen, Medbådan, Skötbådan, Storberget, and Marsten. Entrants must be over 18, and the competition is not open to billionaires. The islands are described as rocky outcrops, emphasizing the experience of travel over ownership.
