OXFORD BUS COMPANY ISSUES FINAL CALL TO ENTER ‘BRAND THE BUS’ COMPETITION

Good causes are into the final two weeks to enter the Oxford Bus Company ‘Brand the Bus’ competition, to be in with a chance to appear on a double-decker.

The competition offers local good causes and charities the opportunity to have an Oxford Bus Company bus emblazoned with its branding. People can vote for their favourite good cause to win the unique opportunity. The deadline to enter the competition is 23.59 on 20^th December at 23.59. The public vote will close on 31^st December at 23.59. So far 20 local good causes have entered, and around 5,000 votes have been cast.

Phil Southall, Oxford Bus Company said: “The Brand the Bus competition is really taking shape now and we’ve had 20 entries and a lot of votes. There is still time to enter and I’d encourage local good causes and charities to submit their entries and ensure they gain some well-deserved exposure.”

The 10 entries that are deemed best according to a public vote will be shortlisted and examined by a judging panel. Prizes will be awarded to the competitors who have, in the panel’s opinion, fulfilled the brief to the highest standard. The winning organisation will be invited to work with the Oxford Bus Company to design a bus wrap featuring the brand colours, logo and messages of the charity. Runners-up will receive support via digital on-board bus advertising.

Girl Guiding Oxfordshire won the inaugural 2019 Brand the Bus competition and Home-Start Oxford scooped first place this year. Both good causes now have a branded bus emblazoned on a double-decker.
