Canon gives away $500 every 30 minutes* in its extravagant Christmas campaign

With Christmas and the holidays just around the corner, Canon has begun its extravagant Christmas campaign in New Zealand.

Canon will give away a $500 cash prize every 30 minutes between 11am and 7pm (NZDST) until 5 January 2011. By the time the promotion ends 1,360 people will have won cash prizes with Canon.*

"In the run-up to Christmas every year, Canon encourages people to enjoy the shopping season with unique and exciting prizes. Each year our promotion gets bigger, however this campaign far exceeds all others with a larger prize pool and more winners," says Kim Conner, General Manager, Consumer Imaging Products Group, Canon New Zealand.

The promotion also offers New Zealand shoppers the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime Aussie adventure holiday packed with breathtaking experiences. Two lucky Kiwis will take one friend each and join the Australian winners onboard a Boeing 737 that Canon has chartered for the journey.

Over four days, winners will experience Australia's natural wonders through a range of exclusive activities showing a side of Australia few ever get to see. Diving into the rich colour of the Great Barrier Reef; floating over spectacular rainforest and witnessing the changing colour of Uluru in the heart of the Outback. Along the way, awe-inspiring surprises and celebrity guests will bring theatre and magic to Australia's natural beauty for an out-of-this-world adventure.

Entry is now open to shoppers who purchase eligible Canon products from authorised Oceania Canon resellers, and enter online at www.canon.co.nz/canonjet. The promotion runs through to 5 January 2011.

Participating Canon products include all IXUS, PowerShot, LEGRIA and EOS cameras and lenses; PIXMA, LaserShot and Selphy printers; and all Canon Binocular models, along with selected Canon Scanners.

Canon's privately chartered jet will depart from Sydney on 29 March 2011. The prize includes return airfares from the winner's nearest capital city.
