Taking to TikTok, the hitmakers unveiled a fun new contest where the grand prize is a trip to their native Denmark.
“Barbie Girl turns 25! Can you believe it? What an amazing ride,” the group announced, saying they want to “celebrate the life of Barbie Girl and Aquarium [their debut album] with all of you.”
Singer Lene Nystrøm encouraged her fans to, “Share with us your favorite ‘Barbie Girl’ moment” using #BarbieGirl25 on social media.
She explained the winner will be flown to Denmark to “see us in concert, meet us backstage and hang out” at an upcoming music festival.
It is unknown when the contest ends.
