GEORGE NEWS - Georgians have only today left to vote for George in the semi-final of kykNET's Kwêla Town of the Year competition. George is a semi-finalist in the Western Cape for this prestigious title.
George Tourism manager Joan Shaw encourages everyone to join her in using this last opportunity to vote in the semi-final.
"As George residents, we tend to take the privilege of living in George for granted, but let's count our blessings. We are situated in the 'sweet spot' of the world-famous Garden Route, with access to all its wonders, with pristine roads and an airport on our doorstep. We are surrounded by mountains, rivers, oceans, and lakes, in forests and farmlands that provide an array of produce from milk to beer, with fruit, vegetables, and an abundance of rain."
The stakes are high, with the winning town set to receive a remarkable R1m advertising contract on kykNET, providing an invaluable opportunity to promote George as a premier tourist destination both domestically and in Namibia.
To nominate George, simply SMS 'George' to 33157. Each SMS costs R1,50, and individuals are encouraged to vote multiple times, up to a maximum of 30 votes per number.
The final showdown will occur between 14 and 19 July, with the ultimate winner being announced on 28 July during a special broadcast on Kwêla.
In addition to the lucrative R1m advertising contract with kykNET, the winning town will also receive a cash prize of R1m from Lottoland to further invest in the town's development.
Businesses interested in playing a more active role in the campaign can reach out to Joan Shaw at jshaw@george.gov.za for additional information.
