Oman Air Marks Renaissance Day With Various Social Media Contests

As the country celebrated Renaissance Day on July 23, Oman Air encourages its followers to share a photo of their festivities via the Oman Air Facebook and Instagram pages (www.facebook/com/omanair). Winners will be selected by Oman Air on the criteria of how well their photo fits the contest theme of ‘Spread Your Wings’, the quality of their photo and how creative their photography is.
Three lucky winners will win exciting prizes from the 5-star Shangri-la Resort Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, Muscat. The first prize winner will receive a one night complimentary stay for two in a Deluxe Room at the luxurious Al Bandar Hotel, worth OMR 90. The second and third prize winners will receive dinner vouchers to dine at The Samba - the resort’s stunning onsite restaurant.
Oman Air followers in twitter can also win by tweeting their love for Oman using the same hashtag #OmanRenaissanceJoy. The first prize winner will receive a one night complimentary stay in a Superior Room at the luxurious Al Waha Hotel. The second and third prize winners will receive dinner vouchers to dine at the resort’s stunning onsite restaurant, Al Tanoor.
Mohammed Al Shikely, Vice President Marketing for Oman Air, said: “On Renaissance Day, we want people from around the world to visit our Facebook page and share with us their celebrations. Through the photos, we want people to really express what this special day means to them. As the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, we are delighted to be joining the country’s citizens in celebrating Renaissance Day, as well as using the occasion to further showcase the progress the Sultanate of Oman has achieved under the Renaissance of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said. We are very much looking forward to seeing all of the photographs people will share with us.”
The contest went live last July 19. Winners will be announced in the first week of August. Entrants must be over the age of 16 and any person working for companies or groups associated with organizing the competition (including employees and agents of the carrier), are not eligible to enter the competition.
Oman Air’s social media channels are growing rapidly and this competition follows a hugely popular social media competition to celebrate the 46th National Day in November 2016. The competition – which asked followers to post their creative photo submissions under the theme ‘My Oman National Day’ – had a fantastic response on Facebook.
