We haz winners. I'm pleased that our promotion seems to have added a little joy to the election campaign, and not only for the people receiving a bottle of premium locally-crafted schnapps by courier. I have laughed also.
Clearly, my idea that folks might use Twitter to craft concise summaries of actual party policies out of a sense of civic duty was a bit earnest. It's all about the lulz.
The three winning Twitter-based zingers for Friday to Sunday are as follows:
@radioovermoscow Worried I'm going to miss out on the most exciting spreadsheet in history. #zumwohl #votenz
And:
@Lol_Nats If Cunliffe was the only man on Earth, well, there's always Mars #zumwohl #nzvotes
And the mildly obscure:
@N_BenWilson_Z "Ima makeit rain, trick" Key tells electorate #votenz #zumwohl
Congratulations, all three. Y'all should click the little envelope icon at the bottom of this post to let me know your delivery address and I'll get that spirit dispatched. All pseudonyms will be received in confidence.
You, too, can play. You just need to 1. Follow @zumwohlparty on Twitter. 2. Craft a killer campaign-themed tweet that incorporates the #zumwohl hashtag.
We'll be giving away a bottle of Zumwohl schnapps for each day's best tweet, and a case for the best work in the overall campaign, at the end of the month. Have a crack.
