Hands On Contest To Offer Four-Car Giveaway

WANADA and the Washington Area Toyota Dealers will add a fourth car to this yearês Washington Auto Show Hands On Contest to give the general public a chance to also win a popular hybrid 2003 Toyota Prius. Sure-gripped Hands On contestants will be holding on tight for the chance to drive home in either a 2003 Toyota Matrix crossover wagon, the RAV4 compact SUV, or the best-selling Camry.

The Washington Auto Show Hands On Contest has been a huge crowd favorite from day one, says Charles T. Lindsay, III, auto show chairman, and president, Lindsay Cadillac Company. We couldnêt think of a better way to acknowledge and thank the contest fans than by offering them the chance to win a free Toyota, too.

To win the car of their dreams, Hands On contestants pre-selected through the promotional efforts of 94.7 WARW must hang on from 10:00 a.m., Friday, Dec. 27 to the end of the contest and auto show at 6:00 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 1. Participants must maintain some type of physical contact with the vehicle at all times, although a regular break of exactly fifteen minutes may be scheduled every three hours. A random drawing is used to determine the winner of each car should more than one contestant remain at the end of the contest. Last year, 19 of 29 initial participants hung on until the very end for the chance to drive home their own free Toyota.

But winning the Prius will be less arduous. Consumers will enter by visiting www.washingtonautoshow.com to vote for their favorite to win the Hands On Contest. The winner of the Prius will be randomly drawn from all those voting for the winning contestants. Those visiting the Hands On Contest while at the Washington Auto Show will also have a chance to share in the winning on a daily basis. Contestants and on-lookers will team up for regular rounds of Toyota Bingo, with a wide range of prizes at stake.
