Following the launch of the search for a new face for its 2008 promotions, Vodafone Malta Ltd has taken the campaign to another phase. Around 1,000 Vodafone customers participated in the competition, of which 140 finalists have been selected. Vodafone customers can now vote for their favourite pictures. Out of these 140 finalists, 20 will be chosen to participate in the final phase that will see Vodafone's new face for 2008 selected.

Vodafone customers may vote until December 15 by logging on to www.vodafone.com.mt. Each customer may vote up to 10 times by sending an MMS from a Vodafone live!-enabled handset to mms.mt@vodafone.com. The customers' votes will represent 50 per cent of the result while a judging panel selected by Vodafone will account for the other 50 per cent.

"We had an overwhelming response from our customers to participate in this prestigious event. The photos submitted by MMS show a high degree of creativity and this will prove to be a challenging task for the judging panel. This is the first time Vodafone is doing something of the sort. We've given our customers the possibility to be part of our advertising campaigns and be the Vodafone Face," said Maria Vella-Galea, business segment marketing manager at Vodafone Malta.

The winner of this competition will be involved in several Vodafone promotions throughout 2008 and will also win Lm500 (€1,164) in cash, a Vodafone 3G handset and other Vodafone merchandise.

Further details will be given at a later stage. Log on to www.vodafone.com.mt for terms and conditions. For more information call Vodafone's Customer Service on 247 from a Vodafone or 9999 9247 from any other line.
