BenQ announces winners of Euro 2004 promotion

The partners from Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE will be flown to Lisbon, where they will watch the climax of the 22 day-long football festival - as part of the prize package which is being given for achieving the most sales.

"Our partners are vital to BenQ's continued success in the Middle East, and our sponsorship of the Euro 2004 football championships provides an ideal reward for all their hard work," said Robert Dung, managing director, BenQ Middle East.

Winning BenQ resellers and distributors will be flown to Portugal and given tickets to the climax of the competition, as part of the all expenses paid trip. The reward is part of a series of promotions launched by BenQ, highlighting their status as an official IT partner to the championships.

"BenQ is proud to be associated with one of the world's best sporting events," said Dung. "Our participation has strengthened the BenQ brand, and demonstrates how technology can be enjoyed by people in their everyday lives. The partners who are lucky enough to go to Portugal will be in for a real treat."

Alongside worldwide promotions for partners and customers, BenQ has also launched competitions, interactive websites for armchair fans, and events in Portugal for traveling supporters.

As an official IT partner, BenQ continues to provide up-to-date statistics for all the matches, giving fans real time information through the internet. It has also supplied the event with technology including the BenQ Joybook range of laptop PCs, with superior wireless technology and multi-media capabilities, and LCD monitors, to help the public and officials monitor the games.

State-of-the-art peripherals have also been provided to the media and broadcast centres to assist the 8,000 accredited media covering the matches.
