To celebrate the start of advent and the impending Christmas celebrations, we wanted to introduce some festive fun to our friends, colleagues and followers with the launch of the Alder and Alder Advent Quiz.
From Tuesday 1st December we are introducing 14 days of festive fun. Each work day, from 1 December until 18 December, we will be taking a well known logo, and chopping out one letter from it, which we will be asking you to identify. The rules are quite simple:
• Each day we will post the link to the day's picture from our Twitter account (@AlderandAlder)
• It will be a random time each day (whenever we remember, or find time!)
• The first person to Direct Message (DM) our @AlderandAlder account, or email jonathan@alderandalder.co.uk, with the right answer wins.
• Anyone who tweets the answer in the open - so everyone can see it - will be disqualified, as we won't be able to include any entries received after that in the 'grand prize' (see below).
• We'll tweet the winner's name that day, and the answer the following day
That's it.
However, we know that not everyone necessarily has the time to be watching Twitter like a hawk all day, so we're also awarding a 'grand prize' at the end of the competition. On (or 'shortly' after) the 18th we will award a prize to the person who responded on the day with the most correct answers to the 14 pictures. (We will only include people who answered on the day of the question, because we'll be giving you the answer the day after). So even if you're not the first to respond, you can still be a winner!
But before you get too excited about the prizes, I just want to point out that they cost under £1.50. Your greatest reward will be the recognition of your peers, and 24 hour bragging rights on the correct answer. The 'grand prize', as the name suggests, will be slightly grander - but I would emphasise the word 'slightly'.
So, good luck, and keep your eyes peeled from tomorrow for the Advent Quiz tweet from @AlderandAlder!
(Just a quick notice for anyone who's tempted to take it too seriously: please don't, we're not. It's just a bit of fun. Ho Ho Ho!)
