LONDON, June 1, 2010 - Visit Norway is looking for four ordinary people who are seeking an
extraordinary adventure to be the stars of its summer postcard photo-shoot in
Northern Norway.

No modelling experience is required but entrants should enjoy outdoor
activities and be aged 25-65. The winners will take centre stage in a photo
shoot with a professional photographer in awe-inspiring Norwegian nature.
Postcards will subsequently be printed and sold in Northern Norway.

Catherine Foster, Country Manager, Visit Norway UK said: "We are looking
for ordinary people! Our models should have a vibrant personality and a love
for the outdoors to offset the rugged and striking landscape in Northern
Norway
"

Potential models must be available to travel to one of three destinations
in Northern Norway with a partner of their choice from August 14-17, 2010.
Applications can be made through the Norway Postcard Models Facebook Page
