Get your party hats and port ready – in a bid to keep Britain cheery and share the love of laughter this Christmas, UKTV channel Gold has launched a national competition to find the perfect Christmas cracker joke.
Britain will collectively pull an incredible 300 million Christmas crackers on Christmas day, and to guarantee the groan count is low and Britain is roaring with laughter, Gold is offering a £5,000 incentive and a chance for the winner to feel like a member of the royal family and have their very own personalised Christmas crackers made.
Gold’s mission is to ensure that this Christmas is full of laughter and is inviting wordsmiths, wits and gag writers to submit their new, original and funny seasonal jokes via Twitter.
HOW TO ENTER
Open to all aged above 18, the jokes must be suitable for a family audience and must be original content. To enter please:
• Follow @GoldTVChannel – so they can DM you if you win
• The joke must be Christmas themed and include the hashtag #GoldCrackers
• The joke must not be more than 140 characters including the hashtag
• Multiple entries will be allowed
• Must be original content
For further information on the terms and conditions please visit the Gold website. The competition opens this Monday 30th September and close the 21st October, 2013.
The best new seasonal jokes as voted for by a comedy panel led by critic Bruce Dessau will be put to the national vote – with the top ten best new jokes being announced in December.
The entrants who supply the top 6 jokes will get their own set of crackers featuring the top six jokes. The winner of the joke judged to be the funniest will have £5000 to spend on making this an unforgettable Christmas. The nine runners-up will receive a prize of £150.
