MAKNA Twitter Campaign Prize Presentation 2009

Last year in order to promote MAKNA’s entrance in Twitter, a contest was organised relating breast cancer awareness and the creativity of the tweeters.To join the contest, MAKNA followers have to tweet about breast cancer prevention and awareness in 140 characters or less. The best sentence, chosen by the public, would receive a Laguna Pink Tumbler as reward.

In order to join this meaningful contest, there are 3 stages follower need to follow:

Stage 01: 

Between November 03 and November 12, 2009 ,Twitter users were allowed to send as many campaign-related tweets as they wished until 11:59pm of its last day

Stage 02: 

MAKNA’s staff chose the three best sentences among all the updates related to the contest – this selection was performed by the International Division Manager, the Senior Manager and the General Manager.

Stage 03:

Top 3 tweets were placed in an internet poll, allowing all Twitter users, regardless their participation in Stage 1, to vote for the best sentence about cancer awareness. The poll was closed on November 20 at 11:59pm.

Here is the result of the internet poll after Stage 03, you may view the result at here and my slogan is "Awaken, Explore, Discover - Let's fight Breast cancer together"
