The Alder and Alder Advent Quiz 2011
The sleigh bells are ringing. The chestnuts are roasting by the fire. So it must be time for... The Alder and Alder Advent Quiz!
It's back for a third year, introducing a daily dose of festive fun to our friends, colleagues and followers. From today, Thursday 1st December, we are introducing 17 days of festive fun. (And this year the 'grand prize' is even better!). Each work day, from now until 23 December, we will be taking a well known logo, chopping a bit out of it, and asking you to tell us who it belongs to.
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 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.
But 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 23rd we will award a prize to the person who responded on the day with the most correct answers to the 17 logos. (In the event of a tie, we'll pick a name from a hat). This year we're raising the stakes with our 'grand prize'! The winner will receive an exquisite hand made candle from Parable - something to brighten 2012.
So even if you're not the first to respond, you can still be a winner!
Good luck, and keep your eyes peeled for the Advent Quiz tweet from @AlderandAlder and follow the #adventquiz hashtag!
(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!)
