Beko Philippines Holds Kick Your Way to Barcelona Qualifying Round

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Beko Philippines earlier conducted its Kick Your Way to Barcelona qualifying round to determine the finalists for February 10, 2017 where the emerging winner will fly to Barcelona to witness the FC Barcelona football game and enjoy 5 days and 4 nights of an all expense paid tour of Barcelona, Spain.

The qualifying round was held at Sparta Philippines located along Pioneer street in Mandaluyong on January 14, 2017. It was participated by a mixed crowd coming from both newbies and professionals. I was also among the participants but was not lucky enough to qualify.

The top qualifiers were able to shoot 3 points as the highest, while the rest of the qualifiers had one goal. Out of around 30 participants, around 10 qualifiers emerged to compete again for another elimination round.

One one participant was able to shoot the ball on the first round, while less than 10 were able to get a goal on the second round of the qualifying event. I am just glad that a friend made it into the qualifying round as this guy is really so eager in joining similar competitions especially those that are conducted online. This is not the first time that he was lucky enough to get in as among the finalists and he has also even won and joined international competitions for lucky social media followers of different companies or brands.

Congratulations to all the finalists who will once again undergo another challenge to finally award the top participant who will surely enjoy Barcelona, Spain so much!!

The opportunity to watch the FC Barcelona game and mingle with the players is rewarding enough, the added tour is a big bonus of course!

This promo is Beko Philippines' way of reaching out to its followers and patrons as it actively promotes its recently launched Facebook page. 

Aside from this promo, they also have one intended for the buyers who purchased Beko appliances. One of these buyers will get a chance to win two slots for a similar prize, so it is safe to assume that they will be joining the winner of the Kick Your Way to Barcelona challenge.

Get to hear more about it from the video interview above.

For more information, I have attached the official press release from Beko Philippines below:
