Jarlsberg Cheese has called upon its fans to send in the most creative, outrageous and mouthwatering sandwich recipes for its new 'Make a Sandwish' campaign. The competition asks fans to join by imputing their sandwich recipe to jarlsberg.com/sandwish for a chance to win a dream vacation determined by the participants themselves.

The top nine recipes will be recreated by world-renowned chefs and the winner will receive their very own personal sandwich and the chance to fulfill their "sandwish" dream vacation. The trailer above was used on [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beechers-handmade-cheese) to introduce the public to the new Jarlsberg campaign. Some recipes shown included a Mac n' Cheese sandwich as well as a wedding cake reuben sandwich. The online campaign is meant to generate more fans, social media engagement and increase brand awareness.
