Dublin’s Lord Mayor, Oisín Quinn, has launched the Key To The City competition that gives Dublin businesses a chance to win the production of a radio advert, alongside broadcast advert slots for 3 months on Dublin City FM and An Lár TV. The 1st prize also includes a 3hr professional consultation too, as part of an overall package worth €10,000. The total prize fund for all 6 prizes is worth €35,000, and the competition is open to all businesses that aim to advertise in the Dublin area.
HOW IT WORKS:
The competition invites businesses, projects and initiatives to enter, in order to win the “Key to Dublin City”, which “unlocks” business support packages of advertising opportunities and business consultancy. Interested parties are invited to upload their business logo, and briefly (300 words maximum) put forward the reasons why they should receive the key to Dublin City.
People can vote on these, and the winners are those with the most votes. Entrants are encouraged to promote their involvement in the competition, in order to attract as many votes as possible. To do this you can share your entry on Facebook to encourage people to vote. All voters go into a draw for a prize (€100 One For All Voucher).
Those with the highest votes at the end of the voting period will win. An overall winner, and an additional five other winners, will be selected on the basis that they received the most votes overall. The winner’s ads will be broadcast on Dublin City FM, An Lár TV Channels and the UpStarts site, over November, December and January.
You can enter your business here, and the winners will be profiled at an Upstarts award ceremony in January 2014.
