3 encourages Facebook users to get Seriously Social
3 has launched the second of its Seriously Social competitions, using Facebook® to seek out the UK’s most popular party idea.
The competition invites party planners, club promoters and general revellers to submit their ultimate party manifesto at www.facebook.com/3seriouslysocialparty. The 25 best ideas, as selected by a panel of judges, will be voted for by fans of the Seriously Social Facebook page.
The owner of the most popular idea will be awarded £30,000 to turn their dream into reality under the expert guidance of promoter Johnno Burgess from Bugged Out!*. And because it’s all about being seriously social, fans who back the winning idea are each in with a chance of attending the January 2010 party.
The first Seriously Social competition received 58,000 votes over a two-week period. The winner, Michael O’Shea, won the chance to work with a professional production team to put on an authentic 1920s party for £25k. The event took place at the opulent No. 5 Cavendish Square and highlights included a lavish feast, burlesque performers including Vicky Butterfly, comedy from the Bearded Kitten Crew and live bands including Harry’s Tricks and The Correspondents.
“We’re really excited to be launching our second Seriously Social competition,” explains Marc Allera, Sales & Marketing Director at 3. “The existing community of 58,000 fans from the first Seriously Social, plus the extra elements added to this year’s campaign, will encourage some incredible party idea entries. This is a chance for anyone to put forward their idea for their dream party for them and their mates. We can’t wait to see what the public come up with.”
Become a fan the Seriously Social Facebook page at www.facebook.com/3seriouslysocialparty to find out how to enter and follow the competition.
