Youth Groups have chance to win Festival Prize Package

Youth groups throughout Atlantic Canada are encouraged to enter a contest sponsored by the Alive on the Island Festival and its partners.

“This Ultimate Prize Package Contest is open to all youth groups and offers an excellent chance of winning free admission to the festival and other great stuff,” says Rainbow Poulette, Youth Representative on the Board of Alive on the Island.

The prize package includes
 10 weekend passes, accommodations for 10 people at the Cape Breton Bible Camp, meal vouchers from Boston Pizza, and
 10 festival t-shirts.

To enter the contest, youth groups should visit:

Simply sign up providing the appropriate information. The winner will be drawn randomly on August 14. The winning youth group will be notified and arrangements will be made for the prize package to be delivered prior to the start of the festival on August 28th.

The more youth that sign up from each youth group...the better the chances of winning!

“The lineup of young Christian entertainers is quite impressive and includes such names as MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, Starfield and Life Support. These groups attract young audiences and we’re expecting to see a lot of youth groups from across the Atlantic Provinces,” says Rainbow Poulette. “So, we thought we’d further encourage their participation by offering a contest where they could win free admission, food, accommodations and merchandise.”

Poulette noted that festival organizers insist upon youth groups having at least one adult leader or chaperone with them throughout the duration of the festival.

Alive on the Island - Festival of Christian Unity will be held in Cape Breton from August 28-30, 2009 showcasing celebrated Christian artists and bringing together Christians from various backgrounds under a common theme of unity.

For the inaugural year, many of the events will be held in the downtown core of Sydney, with intentions in future years to host shows in other communities within Cape Breton.

When established, it is anticipated that Alive on the Island will be the largest annual event of its kind in Eastern Canada, attracting people of all ages and backgrounds from regional and national niche markets in Christian music.

Alive on the Island is presented by the Cape Breton Christian Music Festival Society. The society relies on the commitment and support of its volunteers, sponsors and funding partners including Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation.
