THE SPAM™HEAP CHALLENGE 2008:

SHOW OFF YOUR CREATIVITY AND YOU COULD WIN £500!

A new competition created by Hormel Foods, makers of SPAM® has been launched this month - SPAM™Heap Challenge.

Whether you’re a SPAM™ fan, a student or you just want to have some creative fun, this is the opportunity to let your imagination run wild and create a design or sculpture made out of empty SPAM® cans.

Designs can be as inventive and adventurous as you like, whether it’s a pirate ship or a pagoda, a clock tower or a Cadillac! As long as they are made entirely of empty SPAM® cans (which will be provided for free on request) and are no larger than four feet by four feet.

Once designs have been complete, simply visit www.spam-uk.com and follow the link and instructions to upload your entry.  This will include submitting an image, your contact details and a brief summary of the inspiration behind your structure.

Whether you decide to go it alone or team up with some buddies to share the fun, the winning team or individual will win £500. Teams must be made up of no more than five people and all entrants must be aged 16 or over.

The closing date for all designs is 31^st December 2008, so now is the time to get those creative juices flowing and make the most SPAM™tastic sculpture.

To request the empty SPAM® cans for your design, or if you have any other questions please get in touch with Vicky Beynon or Michelle Oliver at Golley Slater Public Relations on 0191 245 9020/ michelle.oliver@golleyslater.co.uk or Victoria.beynon@golletslater.co.uk
