Cartoon Network, Channel 301 on DStv, is airing all new episodes of the award-winning animated sit-com, The Amazing World of Gumball, on the South African television screens.
The cartoon is about the misadventures of 12-year-old cat Gumball and his family (The Wattersons) in the weird and wonderful town of Elmore.
To kick-start the excitement around these brand new episodes, Cartoon Network will run a Draw a Character Competition from 7–28 November, for children aged six to 13 years to illustrate a new friend for Gumball and his Elmore High classmates.
Entries will be judged in two age categories: 0–6 and 7–13 years old and this means that there will officially be two lucky prize winners. Each winning entrant will have their design transformed into a Bespoke plush toy which will be presented to them by Gumball and his anthropomorphic best pal, Darwin, in a special prize-giving at a popular mall in South Africa – just in time for Christmas!
Kids will also be able to enter at 10 participating Pick n Pay Hyper stores in and around Gauteng, while their parents shop.
Participating Pick n Pays on 15–16 and 22–23 November 2014 from 11.am–2.pm:
Norwood, Woodmead, Faerie Glen, Northgate, Centurion, Greenstone, Soweto,
Bloemfontein, Steeledale and Bedworth Park.
