The Addie has partnered with a number of generous Springs businesses to help create a fantasy matric farewell for three 2015 matric girls.
By entering the Cinderella Matric Farewell Competition, you stand a chance of being transformed into a princess to attend your matric farewell.
The competition aims to help matric girls who might otherwise not be able to afford to attend their matric farewells.
We are therefore looking for girls who need our help, not those who simply want the prizes.
In order to stand a chance of winning one of the amazing prizes on offer, all you need to do is enter yourself or nominate a friend.
All nominees will be contacted to ensure that they are prepared to participate in the competition and have their photos published on our website.
To enter write a 150 word motivation telling us why you or your friend deserve to have your Cinderella story come true.
Send your motivation, together with your name and contact number as well as the nominee’s name, school and contact number and a recent colour JPEG (minimum 1MB in size) head and shoulders photo of the person to Samantha Keogh at samk@caxton.co.za or drop off your entry at our offices at 48 5th Avenue marked for Samantha’s attention.
Information contained in your motivation will remain confidential.
Entries which do not adhere to all these requirements will not be entered into the competition.
Entries close on February 19 and photos of the entrants will be on the website between February 19 and 26 for our readers to predict a winner.
The winners will be announced in the paper and online on March 5.
