GAC kick off football contest

JOC Staff |
As the official ESPN STAR Sports broadcast sponsor of the 2010 FA Cup, GAC has launched Kick it with GAC FA Cup, a football tipping contest for clients in the shipping, logistics and marine industry.

This follows the signing of a new deal with ESPN STAR Sports in November 2009 to extend its broadcast sponsorship of the competition for the next two seasons until 2011. The contest offers GAC offices a unique way to touch base with existing and potential customers in a fun and exciting way.

Points mean prizes
The competition will be run on-line at www.facup.gacworld.com, where participants must sign-up with their full details and answer a question before they are invited to 'tip' who they think will win specific matches. For every accurate tip, points will be awarded.

The Grand Prize includes two FA Cup Final Tickets, with two return economy airfares to London and three nights' accommodation. The winner will be announced after the semi-finals. Country Round Prizes will also be announced after the 4th round, 5th round, quarter finals, semi-finals and finals. All prizes are non-transferable. The 4th round proper entry closes 22nd January 2010.
