Low-cost Icelandic airline WOW air announced a worldwide competition Monday to award a summer job to someone who wants to create content for the first ever WOW air Travel Guide.

The competition winner will be paid to move to Iceland with a friend before traveling throughout the summer to 38 WOW air destinations in Europe and North America, covering the dramatic scenery along the way.

To apply, submission forms must be sent in by May 14 for a summer job that is scheduled to last from June 1 to August 15.

WOW air is looking for a fun pair of individuals who will be willing to live in an apartment in downtown Reykjavik and get paid to travel all summer long to destinations that may include Barcelona, New York City, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Stockholm and more.

"We are very excited to launch our 2018 WOW Travel Guide program," WOW air CEO Skuli Mogensen said in a statement. "We look forward to reviewing the applications and selecting the best dynamic duo that will enjoy worldwide travel and create a high-quality Travel Guide with useful and entertaining travel tips for all inspired and budget-minded travelers."

As part of their job, the competition winners would be tasked with documenting their trips, creating short videos, taking photos and writing blog posts about budget-friendly tips. The content will make up the first-ever WOW Travel Guide.

Applicants are being asked to create a short video travel guide highlighting their hometown and submit it to the official WOW air website. A panel of judges will review the applications and select a winner that captures the WOW spirit.
