EBAY HOSTS ONLINE SCAVENGER HUNT
By Adnews Staff
Toronto-based eBay Canada has launched a new contest called the "eBay.ca Scavenger Hunt." The promotion is running on the collectables category of the online auction Web site until Aug. 18. Consumers interested in participating sign up at <http://www.ebaypromo.ca/scavengerhunt>. Once they have been entered, participants begin locating and recording items found on the Scavenger Hunt list. Ten new items are listed every week for four-weeks. Participants earn one entry for signing up and additional entries for each Scavenger Hunt item located and recorded. Entries can also be earned when a participant makes a bid on any item listed in the Arts, Antiques, Collectables, Coins, Pottery & Glass and Stamps categories between July 14 and Aug. 18. A random draw from all the entries received will determine the grand prize winner as well as the 200 secondary prizes winners. The grand prize is a $1,000 shopping spree on eBay.ca. The secondary prize is one of 200 eBay.ca collectors coin. The Scavenger Hunt promotion is being supported with banners and sideboards on the eBay.ca Web site, in newsletters being sent to users and with links on eBay.ca affiliated sites. Creative and programming for the contest was done by Mindblossom of Toronto.
