The winner of the 2008 NIVEA Funny Women Awards will receive a 5-star holiday to Cyprus with accommodation at the fabulously chic Londa Hotel, including flights and transfers kindly provided by Classic Collection Holidays, a cheque for £1,000, one year’s supply of NIVEA beauty products, a paid gig at the world famous Comedy Store in London and the opportunity to perform at other Funny Women events, including the internationally renowned Edinburgh Fringe. Two runners up will each receive £500 and a fabulous NIVEA pamper pack.

The Londa is a beach front hotel in Limassol with a stunning interior, excellent facilities and bespoke service culture. With a dazzling view over the Mediterranean, the hotel recently benefited from a multi-million pound refurbishment by an Italian design team from Milan.

This discreet and elegant designer hotel is setting a new fashionable standard in Cyprus. Sleek white marble has been used throughout the entrance and lobby, accented with black wood pathways leading down to the sea. The highly unique style of the Londa shows influences from the heritage of the island and from the Mediterranean including Cypriot lace, antique filigree silver and local wood.

The Londa has a very hip restaurant Caprice and cocktail bar, the place to be seen for the cognoscenti of Cyprus. The stylish restaurant with its minimalist interiors offers Mediterranean cuisine served with a twist, while the bar has a number of iconic cocktails and snacks available throughout the day.

The winner enjoys all the five star touches of this modern luxury hotel, including Nespresso coffee machine and Molton Brown beauty care in the rooms and high speed internet access.
