The spring is located 20 minutes north of Whitehorse, Yukon, in northwest Canada. Talking about the contest, Andrew Umbrich told MailOnline Travel, "We found there is a strong correlation between prize money offered and people's effort. Last year we had four categories each worth $750, this year we had five categories each worth $2,000. Everything changed this year when we got Tim Hortons and Nongshim – an instant noodle company from Korea - to sponsor us."
