Face of FlyNamibia 2026

Show us who you are.

To enter, submit:

• Your favourite photo of yourself.
• One Instagram Reel (60–90 seconds). This may be new or previously created.
• Your Reel should celebrate Namibia—its people, places, culture, traditions or everyday moments.

The focus isn’t on production value.

It’s on storytelling.

Our judging panel will review every submission and select ten finalists based on:

• Creativity
• Storytelling ability
• Authenticity
• Cultural representation
• Visual quality
• Originality

The selected creators will move on to the final challenge.

Each finalist will receive the same creative brief:

Creative Theme: Unexpected Namibia

We all know Namibia’s famous landscapes. Now show us the Namibia that visitors rarely see by creating a 60–120 second vertical film answering the question:

What is something about Namibia that more people should discover?

It could be:

• A remarkable person.
• A hidden destination.
• A local tradition.
• A community.
• A creative movement.
• A family business.
• An everyday moment that deserves attention.

Surprise us. Challenge expectations. Tell a story only you could tell.

Video Requirements

Your film must:

• Be shot vertically (9:16).
• Be between 60 and 120 seconds.
• Include only original footage.
• Include at least one person.
• Include natural sound, music or voice-over.
• Be filmed and edited entirely by you.

Professional production crews, stock footage and AI-generated visuals are not permitted.

Finalists will have one week to complete the challenge.

Once all finalist videos have been submitted, they will be showcased on the FlyNamibia website.

The winner will be determined through:

• 50% Public Vote
• 50% FlyNamibia Judging Panel

Public voting gives every Namibian the opportunity to celebrate and support their favourite storyteller, while our judging panel evaluates creativity, originality, storytelling and brand alignment.

The winner will become the Face of FlyNamibia 2026 and serve as the airline’s official creator ambassador.

The winner will receive:

• A feature on the cover of the September edition of FlyNamibia Magazine.
• A professional cover photoshoot.
• Opportunities to collaborate with FlyNamibia on travel campaigns and content throughout the year.
• The chance to travel, create and tell stories that inspire more people to experience Namibia.

Someone who is:

• Curious.
• Creative.
• Authentic.
• Passionate about Namibia.
• Comfortable behind and in front of the camera.
• Able to connect with people through meaningful stories.

We’re not searching for the biggest following. We’re searching for the strongest storyteller. Because every flight begins with a destination. But every destination begins with a story.
