?Name Our Condo? Contest Announced
By on Jul 14, 2010
Hate the names of many condos downtown? Think you can do better? Here is your chance not only to choose the name for one of the city’s premier condo towers but to win $5,000 or an iPad at the same time.
A trio of top builders reinventing the southeast corner of Yonge and Front Streets is about to launch a new development at the southeast corner of Yonge and The Esplanade. Cityzen Development Group, Castle Point Realty Partners and Fernbrook Homes are already working on L Tower and the renovation of the Sony Centre has begun.
Now they have turned their attention to the south side of The Esplanade. That project is set to launch in the fall. But the one crucial element it lacks is a great name. Who better to come up with that name than the people of the GTA, people who may even wind up living there?
The rules are simple:
Starting July 12, anyone can go to the www.nameourcondo.com website and register.
Step one: it is a simple matter of filling in fields that give name, street address, email address and agreeing to the rules of the contest. A warning though; you have to be at least 18 to enter.
Step two: moving to the next web page and filling in a field with your suggested name and another giving a brief summary of why you think the name is especially appropriate.
Step three: get all the people in your social network to vote for your name by logging onto the www.nameourcondo.com site and hitting the vote link.
Winners announced August 26th during Buskerfest
On August 23 the votes will be tallied, the top 10 chosen and then a panel of judges made up of representatives from the developers and their key consultants will choose the first place winner. He or she gets $5,000 in cash and bragging rights for a lifetime while second and third place entries win new iPads.
The winners will be announced August 26 as part of the neighborhood’s Buskerfest celebration.
