The second round of the 3rd annual trumped competition came to an end yesterday, with 8 of the original 47 teams advancing on to the final round.

This final round is sponsored by Molson Canadian and will see the eight teams design a series of events, promotions, and the Molson rock tent activities for the Halifax Rocks concert this summer.

Should be a good one.

You may or may not know but I am competing in the 2009 Trumped Competition hosted by Saint Mary’s University. It saw 47 teams compete through the first round in which our team raised over $1,300 in two weeks for the Canadian Cancer society through a variety of methods.

Only 24 teams are left competing in the second round which has everyone creating an advertising campaign for Pinky’s Ice Cream. Our task was to develop a campaign with a billboard and radio ad, targeted at 15-25 year old Haligonians. We are still developing our radio ad but we your help (and vote!) for our billboard.

20% of our mark for the competition comes from people voting for our billboard. So please, take some time to visit the voting page here: http://www.pinkys.ca/trumped/ and vote for Team 2.

As soon as our website (www.whatsyourflavour.ca) and radio ad is done you can check our the ad on the website. But for now we need your votes for our billboard.

Help us win this competition. Vote now! for Team 2.

Thanks.
