The Local Organising Committee of the forthcoming National Sports Festival is set to splash gifts on sports fans ahead of the Garden City Games in Port Harcourt.

The sports festival holds between June 27 and July 11 in Port Harcourt, but the organisers are building up to the event with a promo that will reward participants with fantastic prizes.

The promo, devised to generate awareness for the games and test the knowledge of Nigerian sports fans, is in form of a text quiz.

To take part in the SMS quiz, fans are required to text ‘QUIZ’ along with their names and locations to 33382; questions will be sent back to the participants and correct answers will earn the participants entries into the regional and national draws.

The regional draws will be in Lagos and Abuja, while the national draw will be in Port Harcourt. Prizes on offer include a brand new car, laptops, Plasma TV sets, refrigerators, Blackberry phones and consolation prizes.

The marketing consultant to the Garden City Games, Mr. Patrick Ukah of Ventolite Marketing International, Lagos, said the SMS quiz and the great prizes are indications that this year’s festival is going to be one of its kind.

“This is the first time we are having something like this ahead of any sports festival,” he said. “This clearly shows that the Garden City Games will be unique and historic.”
