Official sponsor of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ launches international online consumer campaign with attractive prizes.

Hannover (pps) Have fun, create a video and off you go to South Africa! The Continental Corporation has launched the ContiFanContest on its football platform www.ContiSoccerWorld.de with immediate effect. This is how – on the road to the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ - the Official Sponsor invites all soccer fans to take part in a video contest. Later on, an additional interactive online “FanGame” will be offered as well. In order to qualify for the raffles, all players of the ContiFanContest have to complete six of a total of eight tasks. 

After registration this includes, for instance, the participation in the FanGame and the voting for videos of other participants.

The winners will be drawn from all successful participants, the main prizes are eleven “all-inclusive” trips for two to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. This package includes flight, accommodation and a safari as well as attending a soccer match. The ContiFanContest will conclude on December 4, 2009, when the draw for the 2010 World Cup group will take place.

„Soccer fans from all over the world have to demonstrate that they are real fans and how they will root for their (national) team”, explained Dirk Rockendorf, head of eBusiness of the passenger & light truck tire division. “The contest itself is easy – just create a short video, upload it to YouTube and enter it on to ContiSoccerWorld. Then vote for the videos of other participants - this is possible either on the ContiSoccerWorld platform or on www.youtube.de/contisoccerworld.”

The FanGame, to be launched in November, is all about rooting for your favourite team, too. The contestants have to press different key combinations, as indicated in the instructions. The better the player is, the better the atmosphere in the fan block and the better the support of the team.
