Tourism Queensland CEO Anthony Haves said Queensland's tourism industry would be the ultimate winners of the Million Dollar Memo. "When these 20 finalists return to their workplaces, we want them to tell their bosses that Queensland is the best place in the world to reward their starff," he said.

The campaign had been in the works for 18 months and was launched in March. Companies worldwide were invited to compete in the challenge by sending a 60-second video on what makes their companies a great place to work and why Queensland is the ultimate reward destination. A total of 291 entries were received - 70% from the Asia-Pacific - and this was whittled down to a top 70-shortlist and then a final 20.
