Become a Southwest Storyteller and Win Free Flights

Southwest Airlines is offering passionate travelers the "opportunity of a lifetime" via its Southwest Storytellers contest.

"We're searching for a group of social influencers who love Southwest Airlines to travel with us and create compelling content that will inspire others to create their own travel stories. You could win the opportunity of a lifetime to travel to and explore some of Southwest's 99 destinations in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America," the contest states.

To enter the contest, you must follow Southwest on Instagram (@southwestair) and then share a photo and caption on the social media platform that tells an engaging travel story you've had with the low-cost carrier while mentioning @southwestair and using the hashtags #SouthwestStorytellers and #Contest in your post.

Participants have until February 24, 2019, to submit their entries. The top 100 entrants will be notified on or around March 11 and later invited to participate in a short survey allowing Southwest to learn more about their social influence and love of the airline.

From there, Southwest will select 10 finalists to complete a challenge to create travel content in their home city.

The Grand Prize winner will receive 24 Southwest flight e-passes valid for one-way travel on Southwest Airlines. First Prize will receive 12 Southwest flight e-passes and Second Prize will receive six Southwest flight e-passes.

The two Third Prize winners will earn Southwest gift cards in the amount of $500 each while the five Fourth Prize winners will each receive 10,000 Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards points.
