If you've been looking for a reason to go away for the weekend, block off a couple of days in March and enter this competition for your chance to head to Canberra for Enlighten 2017.

Touted as the original Vivid, Enlighten celebrates art, culture, music, performance and innovation. Held in Canberra's iconic Parliamentary Triangle, the event site is transformed into a buzzing hub of activity, with spectacular architectural projections on iconic national attractions and a programme of free and ticketed interactive performance and installation works.

We're giving away return flights for two from your nearest capital city, one night of accommodation at The Avenue Hotel Canberra, chauffeured transport and food and drink vouchers to use while you're there. The best bit: you'll be the one to flick the switch and turn on all the lights at Enlighten 2017.

Over each weekend from March 3-12, the city will light up with live music, performances, events and exclusive exhibitions. Large-scale projections will bring to life Canberra icons including the National Portrait Gallery, Australian Parliament House, National Library of Australia, National Gallery of Australia and Questacon.

Highlight events from the programme include the amazing, interactive digital architectural projections splashed across the National Portrait Gallery, the Enlighten Night Noodle Markets (which based on Canberra's population should be significantly less hectic than the Sydney version, meaning you'll be able to jump in and eat as many dumplings as you can) and Sunset on the Roof — drinks, music and snacks at the Australian Parliament House's rooftop bar for two nights only (March 3 and 11).

A glowing, black-light, industrial 'dance zone' is popping up in a high-security factory production corridor on March 3. DJ Robot Citizen will lead the charge in showcasing Canberra's underground dark-electronic music scene on the night (who knew), and high-vis vests and glow-sticks will be supplied.

Visit Enlighten 2017 and delve into the whole programme. After that, enter your details below and say yes to the terms and conditions to go into the running to win.
