Fan Walk Update

Hey everyone, this is the latest Fan Walk update, that I recieved by email yesterday.

Hi Lauren! ( yes, for those who don't know me, this is real name, so don't get confused lol )

Thank you for applying to join the exciting Sony Ericsson FanWalk to the MTV EMAs '08.

The FanWalk community has been growing rapidly and over 2000 applicants are currently battling it out to be one of the lucky 100 chosen FanWalkers. Thousands of site visitors per day have been deciding on who stays home and who goes to Liverpool. The heat is on!

Voting’s not over yet! Voting is extended until the 3rd of October and there’s enough time to get more votes to help you get into the next round, casting! (See below). But even if you’re not in the Top 100, you still have a very good chance of being selected to take part in the casting.

Here are just few other great ways to increase your fan support and your chances to be a FanWalker:



* Make and email us your cool videos
* Promote your FanWalker profile on your social networking site (e.g. your Facebook / Bebo / Myspace account)
* Add our special voting application to your Facebook profile so that people can vote for you directly – just click here: http://www.new.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=30482522805
* Why not start a FanWalk group on Facebook?

THE CASTING

If you make the next round, you may be invited to meet the Sony Ericsson team at the live castings. Here you will be filmed talking about YOU. Alternatively, you may be asked to submit a short film about YOU by using your handset or video camera.

We’ll want you to talk about yourself, your music loves and why you deserve to be one of the 100 committed, die-hard music fans to be selected from across Europe to embark on this historic nine day, 400km FanWalk to the MTV EMAs. From here, just 100 finalists will be selected from across Europe to take part in the FanWalk to the MTV EMAs, which is set to be the music lovers’ event of the year!

The journey starts in London on 29th October and arrives in Liverpool on 6th November for the infamous award ceremony.


Each FanWalker will enjoy:



* Adventures, challenges, parties
* A Sony Ericsson Walkman® phone and FanWalk gear
* Tickets to the MTV EMAs 2008 and aftershow party
* Plus one lucky FanWalker will present an MTV Award on the night to one of the celebrated artists



Look out for announcements over the next coming weeks when the host and live acts will be revealed… So get busy spreading the word for the chance of a lifetime - to be a part of music history!

We wish you the best of luck!
