Royal Caribbean International partnered with a television station in its own backyard, South Florida, in a contest to help find a local godmother for Harmony of the Seas.

Specifically, the line seeks a woman who's inspiring the next generation to dream big, think differently and challenge the status quo.

South Florida residents are invited to nominate a mentor, educator or teacher whose passion for education and a better tomorrow inspires students to make a positive impact on the world.

The winner will serve as the godmother for the world's largest cruise ship during its official naming on Nov. 10 at Port Everglades, and a $25,000 grant will be awarded to her school or nonprofit organization to fund education initiatives that will further her mission to inspire South Florida's youth.

Plus, the godmother will have the opportunity to host a 'field trip' for those whose lives she has influenced to be her guests at Harmony of the Seas' naming ceremony, and will set sail later that evening with three guests on a two-night pre-inaugural cruise. She'll also receive a future seven-night cruise for two.

The contest is open to volunteers, full- and part-time employees at of a school or educational organization in Miami-Dade County, Broward County or Palm Beach County. Self-nominations are also accepted.

The contest is in partnership with South Florida ABC affiliate Local 10. The contest nomination form is here.
