It's competition time for newspaper readers

The Sunday Times' Finder's Keepers is back and, for the first time ever, the competition will pay R1 million in cash to the winner, as well as an additional R500 thousand in weekly prizes to lucky draw winners. In addition, this year the competition will go on line and will be powered by Telkom's do Broadband product. It is also far more representative of the total SA population, with a more African approach to history.

The interactive nature of the website will take the player on a journey where objects reveal inner content at the click of the mouse and ‘pop-ups' give a three dimensional aspect that should entice and challenge even the most skilled players.

“We predict the South African public becoming truly occupied by what we have in store,” says Craig Morris, the designer behind the project. “And for those who do not have Internet access, it's no problem. Players can make sense of clues in The Sunday Times each week.”

A four page colour pull-out was inserted in the The Sunday Times in the first week. Entries close on Thursday 29 November at midnight and the live dig will take place on Friday 7 December.

Win a piece of land

The Citizen has teamed with Zuikerbosch Heritage Estate, Colliers International, Betterbond and Wilpark for the Zuikerbosch Land Prize Competition, in which one reader will win a piece of land situated in the Zuikerbosch Heritage Estate, referred to as 'The jewel of the Magaliesberg'. The winner has the option of developing the piece of land, selling it, or simply just keeping it.

From the commencement date of the competition (5 November), each day (Monday – Friday) a block is being hidden somewhere in The Citizen. Readers must cut out and collect each block, the last one which can be found on Friday 30 November, to stand a chance of winning. Entry forms for the competition only featured in The Citizen on 5 November and only original entries will be accepted for the competition.

"As a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for just one reader we are expecting thousands of entries. Due to the nature of the prize we are anticipating an increase in sales which is always an added advantage not only for The Citizen, but for all Citizen partners," commented Clare Soutter, marketing manager for the newspaper.
