The Finnish Dinner Date campaign has received an overwhelming response, prompting organisers to extend the time needed to review applications and move the announcement of selected participants to December 8.
The application period for the Finnish Dinner Date has officially closed, with organisers thanking everyone who submitted an application and expressed interest in taking part in the initiative.
In a statement shared following the close of applications, the campaign organisers said they were pleased with the number of responses, describing the interest as overwhelming. They also thanked applicants for sharing personal details about themselves as part of their submissions.
The high number of applications means the selection process will take longer than initially expected. Organisers said they want to give each submission proper consideration before making their final decision.
The public announcement of the selected participants, originally scheduled for an earlier date, has therefore been postponed to December 8.
A total of 16 participants will be selected for the Finnish Dinner Date. Those chosen will be contacted individually through direct messages or email. Organisers have also advised applicants to look out for communications from the campaign’s official social media accounts and email channels.
The Finnish Dinner Date is part of an initiative designed to introduce Finland through food, shared experiences and personal connections. The campaign’s invitation to share a table with Finland has attracted interest from people eager to be part of the experience.
