Embrace competition - we have a winner!
 After much deliberation in the Oxfam office we have finally decided on a winner for the Embrace competition.
There are two prizes and the first one goes to the very lucky Lee Gardner who pleaded:
“I think I should win as I want to get the song Put Your Hands Up For Detroit out of my head.”
We had hundreds of entries and finally decided on this one for its amusement factor.
The second winner is a tad different as there was an overwhelming amount of people who pledged to put their prize on eBay and donate the proceeds to Oxfam. As so many people said this we decided to take the matter into our own hands and put the prize on eBay ourselves. In this sense all of the people who said they’d do this have actually won – smiles for everyone! Look out for updates and we’ll let you know when the prize goes up for auction – maybe you’ll be the lucky bidder.
Thanks to all those who entered – we have had much fun trawling through piles of Embrace puns. Here are some of the runner-ups:
“I think I should win this prize because I am soaked through, having just walked my son to school, my daughter's screaming at me because she's suddenly decided she doesn't like Marmite anymore, my husband's away for a few days, and I'm skint. I think I need an Embrace to cheer me up!” (Annmarie Carter)
“I think I should win the Embrace goodies because ... I've managed to get over half my year to sign up for Generation Why so they are in the know about all the important issues (an impressive feat in a very apathetic school) and also its my 18th birthday on the 25th of November and I am a huge Embrace fan!!” (Felicity Grove)
“All you Good, Good People at Oxfam do some fantastic work, and I Want the World to know that Hey, What You Trying to Say is really good, and think that we should Celebrate This New Day, as together, Out of Nothing, Someday, we can make A Glorious Day.” (LewieP)
