A COMBINATION of excitement, suspense and anticipation filled the atmosphere on Friday at the Stabroek Market Square, Georgetown as four finalists of GTT’s Christmas promotion competed against each other for a grand prize, a BMW X1.

The prize was presented with one-year free insurance for one year and one year of free Super 95 gas from GuyOil.
Families and supporters of the four finalists flooded the location to back their favourite contestant.

According to a GTT press statement, with voting being the first leg of the competition, Shameer Rahamut, Shinella Charles, Noel Fernandes and Sean Charles all battled through several challenges in the second leg of the competition to win the grand prize.
The second leg comprised of cake eating, dunk that junk, balloon blow up, question and answers on GTT’s Plus Sized promotion and a sing-off battle.

Quadrupling his competitors’ votes with help from the public was Enterprise Gardens, Noel Fernandes. He also scored ample points in the obstacle challenges which led to him emerging as the winner of GTT’s BMW X1.

After being announced the winner of the BMW X1, Fernandes in full excitement mode said he was elated to be the victor of the competition.

“I feel very deserving. I placed my best foot forward and this is the reward I am reaping now. I am just thankful to GTT for affording me such an opportunity and I promise to take good care of the vehicle and drive responsibly,” said an overjoyed Fernandes, before he drove off in his new BMW X1 with his wife and son.
Fernandes was not the only person to leave happy, as everyone who competed in the “Do More” competition won.

Copping the second prize of $150,000 was Charles from Agricola. He was well supported by his five children and wife. He expressed gratitude to GTT and his supporters.
Stealing the crowd’s heart was Shinella Charles who placed third and took away $100,000 and followed by Shameer Rahamut, who walked away with $50,000.
The finalists were scored by esteemed judges including Media Personality, Gordon Moseley; GTT’s Brand Ambassadors Poonam Singh and Drew Thooven; and GTT’s Director of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME), Devi Sukdeo.

External Auditors from TSD Lal and Co-Chartered Accountants were also on the scene to ensure impartiality in the judging process.
Senior Marketing Executive at GTT and Event Coordinator, Tashandra Inniss said the competition has been one of the most successful events coming out of GTT.
“We have managed to meet our targets while still supporting our customers. We are extremely happy about the outcome and we cannot wait for the next big thing,” said Inniss.

Partnering with GTT on the promotion was GuyOil which will provide over one-year free supply of the Super 95 gas to the winner of the BMW X1.
Marketing and Sales Manager at GuyOil Jacqueline James said the aim of the partnership was to make the winner’s life relaxed for one year.

“GuyOil is always about giving back to its customers, not only its corporate customers but our residential customers as well. We look forward to doing more joint partnerships with GTT in the future,” she said.
GTT aims to do more by giving back to its customers in the New Year with more exciting promotions.
