Curaçao – the picture-perfect place to serve as the backdrop for a smoooth 9th season of the hit show

In the southern Caribbean, just 64 kilometres off the coast of Venezuela and 12 degrees north of the Equator, the 64km-long, 12km-wide island of Curaçao represents a lively amalgam of different cultures. Part of the Lesser Antilles, also known as the ABC Islands — Aruba is to the west, Bonaire to the east — Curaçao was once a booming trade hub for merchants in the Dutch West India Company. Today, travellers stroll along Willemstad’s Handelskade Street, lined with sherbet-colored homes that resemble Amsterdam rowhouses, and stay in former Dutch colonial buildings now reimagined as luxurious beach resorts. With over 35 palm-lined beaches, 65 dive sites to explore and friendly locals who represent over 55 cultures, Curaçao is quickly garnering appeal as one of the most progressive and pristine islands in the Caribbean, and is the perfect place to serve as the backdrop for #TIOT9.

If this, along with the chance of winning your share of R1 million and other amazing prizes, has whet your appetite and sparked the desire to submit an audition video online, some of the #TIOT9 celebs share their top tips for creating the perfect audition video:

Kay Sibiya: Stand out, be yourself and most importantly get a passport in order if you don’t already have it sorted! Adventure, fame and fortune are calling and you need to be ready to answer the call.

Nadia Japhta: Don’t play it safe with your audition video. If I’m anything to go by, be bold and loud but most importantly, be you!

Siphesihle Vazi: Be yourself as much as you can. The camera can read uncertainty and fear, so pretend the camera is your favourite person in the world; that one person you like talking to, someone whom you bombard with stories of how your day went – that way it’s so much easier to connect with whoever is watching you and you’ll really have an authentic audition video.

In addition to auditioning for your chance to win a spot on the island with your favourite celebs, there are over 100 000 awesome prizes valued at over R1 million up for grabs, including:

  • Airtime
  • Cash
  • LG Q60 Mobile Phones
  • LG Dishwashers
  • LG 55” Televisions
  • Watches
  • Caribbean Tan products

The more Tropika bought, the more chances to win.
