One lucky Mashable Awards attendee will win the last spot to the Focus Global Test Drive in Spain. (Think Charlie’s golden ticket! With less chocolate, more sangria.) You must be registered for the Mashable Awards in order to win so make sure you have your ticket to the Mashable Awards Gala.
The Contest
Next February, 100 people from around the world will be flown to Spain for a unique and exclusive Focus Global Test Drive event. During the past few months, people have been applying on facebook.com/FordFocus for the opportunity to put the 2012 Ford Focus through its paces on multiple test tracks near Madrid.
In addition, those selected will have the opportunity to receive $10,000 for the charity of their choice from the categories of hunger, education and environment/sustainability. Up to $500,000 will be given to driver-preferred charities. Not only will these select few be taking part in a once-in-a-lifetime experience, they will be doing good for an organization they are passionate about!
How To Enter
During the Mashable Awards, at the entrance of the New York, New York Hotel in Las Vegas, there will be a 2012 Ford Focus. Simply take a picture with the car and tweet the photo with the hashtag #FordCES. That’s it!
One lucky person will be chosen at random from all completed tweets. The winner will be announced live during the Mashable Awards gala by J Mays, Group Vice President of Design and Chief Creative Officer of the Ford Motor Company.
