Tourism New Zealand wants to fly two Australians across the Tasman to become the first same-sex couple to wed under the country's laws.
New Zealand passed the Marriage Amendment Act last week, becoming the first country in the Asia-Pacific region to legalise gay marriage.
"We are excited to be making history and working with one lucky same-sex couple to become the very first from Australia to be married here in New Zealand," said Tim Burgess, general manager of Tourism NZ's Australian operations.
The prize includes return flights from Australia, accommodation, a wedding ceremony and reception, the New Zealand Herald reported.
Applicants are invited to enter via the Star Observer's Facebook page.
