From 20 January till 20 February the perfect candidate can apply through a worldwide selection process.<\/p>\n

Purpose<\/h3>\n

The purpose of the campaign is to select a candidate from somewhere over the world, then let him\/her meet an Aboriginal of the Bundjalung tribe and prove that they are only six links away from each other. They don\u2019t know each other but they will get together via friends and friends of friends whom connect them.<\/p>\n

Participation<\/h3>\n

From 20 January adventurers are invited to post a video of themselves on the Facebook page of Mercure<\/a>. In the video they have to tell who they are, what talents they have, what their motivations and passions are and why they are the best friend of the world in just one minute. A video can be posted till 20 February.
\nThe 50 videos with the most likes are directly going to the finals. A jury that consists out of six people including Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Julian (a Movie Director) and Isabelle Musnik (Editor-in-Chief of INfluencia) will select the winner in a final interview. The selection takes place between 20 January and 10 February 2015 and the results will be announced between 17 and 24 February.<\/p>\n

The Six Friends Theory<\/h3>\n

The first prize of the campaign is a trip around the world with stays at several Mercure hotels. The winner will be on his way for seven weeks from the beginning of March. \u2018The Six Friends Theory\u2019 exists out of six meetings, six destinations and six Mercure hotels worldwide. At each destination the winner will hear where he is going to find the next friend. These friends will give him a local experience and guide him to the next assignment towards the Aboriginal.
\nThe winner will be on his way together with a film crew, directed by Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Julian. It is his job to capture all the meetings and experiences of the winner.
\nThere are also different rewards for the other 49 candidates from the finals like overnight stays at Mercure hotels and Samsung tablets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
