Broadcaster Emma Freud - wife of writer-director Richard Curtis - announced the Omaze-sponsored competition on social media which is running in line with Red Nose Day USA.
The winner will be flown to London to meet Curtis, who wrote the 1999 romantic comedy, with whom they'll tour the film's famous sites including Portobello Road Market and William Thacker's bookshop before lunching with Grant himself for a picnic in the film's titular location. To top it off, the lucky winner will stay at The Ritz the very hotel where Anna Scott - played by Julia Roberts - stays in the film.
Note: you have to be a USA resident to enter.
Annual fundraiser Red Nose Day USA will take place on 24 May. Last year's UK event saw Curtis and Freud unveil their mini-sequel to Love Actually - titled Red Nose Day Actually - which saw the film's cast reprise their roles for the first time since 2003. It was later shown in the US with an additional scene featuring Laura Linney's character.
Red Nose Day started in the UK in 1988 and has raised over $1 billion globally. It launched in the US in 2015. You can enter the competition here.
