Eshraqa announces Ramadhan contest winner

ESHRAQA, KR Social Development Arm, announced the winner of its recently concluded Ramadhan social media contest. The contest formed part of community and youth driven initiatives launched by Eshraqa directed at reaching out to Oman’s diverse cultural demographic.

Commenting on the contest Nailesh Khimji, Director — KR said, “Community well-being is one of the key pillars of Eshraqa; the other two are Education and Health. It has been our constant endeavour to engage with our local communities, understand their needs and empower them on a long-term basis. Social media is one of the most popular ways and a powerful tool to connect with the youth and community at large.”

Over 4,000 participants logged into the contest on all Eshraqa’s social media channels via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, eager to win the new iPhone7 at the end of the three-week compe- tition run. All they had to do was post Ramadhan greetings and tag three friends in their posts. The lucky winner was Shehab Hamad al Salmi who was picked through a lucky draw at the close of the contest on instagram.

Thanking Eshraqa for hosting such interactive events, Shehab Hamad al Salmi said, “The contest was a lot of fun and it helped us connect with so many people. I am glad to be the lucky winner and wish to thank Eshraqa for the opportunity and for creating such an open platform for youth to communicate with one another.”
