This year the world cup has expanded to 11 other countries, including Russia, Indonesia, Mexico, Spain and South Africa. The grand prize is to be called the LG Mobile World Cup International Champion.

“Two hundred finalists from the regional events throughout South Africa will compete at the national championship at The Piazza, Montecasino, Fourways on Saturday, 24 October 2009. Participants stand a chance to win prizes up to R80 000 and the overall winners of both the QWERTY and numeric category will get to participate at the World Championships to be hosted in New York later this year,” explains Dr Michelle Potgieter, marketing director, LG Electronics South Africa.

“The competition will draw attention to texting as a popular, quick and easy communication tool, while increasing excitement and familiarity for LG brand and the innovative handsets currently offered in the market by the company,” concludes Potgieter.
