Tell us who you think deserves to win a weekend of luxury, including a boat cruise, dinner and tickets to Hamilton

It has been a tough couple of years for everyone but, now that the city is opening up, we want to give you the chance to win a luxury staycation for you and someone who you think deserves to be treated this summer.

SYDNEY is opening up, summer is here and it is time to shake off lockdowns and restrictions and enjoy the best our great city has to offer.

There is a silly season full of events on the agenda, but while life is returning to our city, our travel, tourism and hospitality sectors are still playing catch-up and more action is needed to keep them thriving into the future.

To celebrate our new freedoms, The Daily Telegraph and The Star, as a supporter of the Open Up campaign, are giving readers the chance to spend a luxury summer weekend in Sydney with someone they care about.

The past couple of years have been tough so we are asking entrants to tell us who they want to treat to a one of five great staycations on January 21.

Your Star-cation weekend will include a cruise on The Star’s superyacht. Picture: Supplied.

The prize includes a return limousine transfer from the winning entrant’s home to The Star for a one-night stay at the Darling Suite.

On arrival, you will step onto a Benetti boat for a two-hour cruise with music, drinks and canapes then return to The Star for dinner for two at BLACK Bar and Grill and A reserve seats to Hamilton the Musical at the Sydney Lyric Theatre.

To enter fill out the form below and explain in 25 words or less who you would like to invite on a luxury staycation and why.

You can add a photo or video to support your entry.
