Win a trip to the French Alps with North Face

Climbing news | | May 17, 2011 4:23 am

Doing up the zipper on your jacket is a very symbolic moment. It’s the last act before you head out on your latest adventure. North Face have recognised the universal significance of this gesture and created a campaign that offers a range of prizes for those passionate about the outdoors.

There are two ways to win – instore at The North Face Carnaby Street store and online. Both offer fantastic prizes – the instore competition winner will get an amazing weekend away for 2 in the French Alps while 4 lucky online fans will receive £175 to spend on North Face products.

Option 1 – Win a trip to the French Alps with North Face

It’s open to anyone and couldn’t be easier to get involved in.
Just head down to the Carnaby Street North Face store on one of these Saturdays:

  • 21 May
  • 28 May
  • 4 June

Then pose!

Have your photo taken by a professional photographer doing the ‘Zipper Act’. These photos will be uploaded on to that store’s North Face Facebook Page (see below to click through to these) and one lucky person will win an amazing weekend away for 2 in the French Alps.

For those who can’t get to Carnaby Street on those dates don’t fear – there is an online competition. Get somebody to take a photo of you zipping up your jacket – whether before, during or after your adventure – and upload them to your local North Face Facebook Page. But remember to be creative because at the end of each week, the fan who has the most votes will win £175 to spend in their local North Face store.

Option 2 – Win £175 worth of The North Face products

It’s open to anyone and couldn’t be easier to get involved in.

How to enter online:

  1. Ask a friend to take a picture of you closing your zipper.
  2. It can be inside or outside. All you need to make sure is that you are creative! (You don’t even necessarily have to be wearing a North Face outfit).
  3. Post your picture on the Carnaby Street Facebook Fanpage.
  4. Tell all your fans to vote for you so you have the best chance of winning!
  5. The person who receives the most Likes for their photo will win £175 worth of The North Face products.
  6. There will be a winner each week (for four weeks) who will be announced every Monday morning.

It’s as simple as that!

The Zipper Act is taking place concurrently in The North Face stores in Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow, Carnaby Street London, Berlin, Leipzig, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Milan from the beginning of May to the end of June. So if you want to be part of something big, get snapping and get zipping!

    How can this work as Facebook have banned using the like button for voting and voting competitions

    Well as far as I can see the ‘like’ is not the competition element. You just need to like the page to be able to upload your picture.

    The agency managing it are social media specialists so I suspect they’ll have thought it through.
