BAG OUR TAG

Posted by Ant on 4 March 2010 at 21:47

We want you to come up with a tagline for the V48HOURS campaign this year.

Just download/copy our poster below & photoshop a new tagline onto it. Then simply upload it back to our Facebook page.

The three best taglines will be used on our flyers/postcards + the three winners will also have their registration refunded. Use black helvetica as the font.

It's practically impossible to beat the brilliant tagline on the one below but give it a go. Enter as many times as you want. Deadline is March 18

YOU GOT SOME FAST FINGERS THERE!

Posted by Ant on 1 March 2010 at 10:06

Okay we have had been overwhelmed with the amount of teams that registered at 10am. Vodafone were refunding the first 5 teams and it looks like we had around 40 teams in the first minute or so!

Wow. A huge thanks to all the teams. We love your enthusiasm and desire for a refund.

Congratulations to the fastest fingers in New Zealand. Here were the first five teams. A couple of teams didn't make payment but unfortunately those were the rules. It really came down to a good dose of speed and luck.

First : 400 Stinkin Feet : 10:00:58
Second : Aardvark Alan and the Mountain : 10:01:03
Third : Pseudoboy : 10:01:08
Fourth : NITRO : 10:01:09
Fifth : Magnificent B 10:01:15
