Incredible
Bahamas & Caribbean Vacations |
From 1 January 2002 our patrons entered to win a free vacation to The Bahamas, with accommodations, as well as many bonus items - a collection offered by our Sponsors. We offered these prizes to those who entered our contest through December 20, 2002 and provided the correct responses to the contest questions. It was also required that full contact information be provided which would only be used to provide winner notice. A drawing was held on 25 January 2002 at Port Lucaya Gazebo and the winners notified at that time.
Prize winners have one year within which to make use of their prizes (unless otherwise restricted by the donors). For more details about inclusions, limitations and blackout dates visit the Contest Rules Page.
The prizes offered are for many of
the Islands of the Bahamas. There will be a grand prize as well as secondary
prize packages. These packages will be formalized once our sponsors have completed
their donations of prizes. We are including a list of prizes offered by sponsors
to date. To read about the prize sponsors, more information on all of the prizes,
details of what the prize(s) include, locations and contact information visit
the Contest
Sponsors Page. This year we met with delay in the contest drawing but thanks to the excellent
organizational skills of Karen Ferguson the prizes were drawn on 25 January
2003 at 9pm.
The audience performed all drawings. And most of them claimed to be the winners;)
But all joking aside we had a good time
We want to express our sincere appreciation to Karen for all her help and managment
of the drawing in a purely professional manner in front of the crowd so there
can be no misunderstandings about the winners.
This year there were 1115 entries, 804 of them had one or more incorrect answers
and 311 had correct answers and were entered into the drawing.
And the Winner IS!!!!!
