2oceans Vibe

Do you wonder if you won one of the 10 X R500 Sunglass Hut Vouchers? Or one of the 5 X cases of Boschendal bubbly? Or one of the 5 X cases of De Grendel rosé? Or, better yet, maybe it was YOU who won the iPad 2, from Digicape?

Winners were picked by a random number generator, and we filmed the whole thing! So follow the link to watch the video and see if your name came up! Good luck! Continue Reading

Seriously – don’t even joke. Have you seen how rad the new Puma Faas 800 running shoes are? I get very light-headed when I see things like this, but am unable to hold them immediately. I want to feel their touch against my skin. God, they look beautiful.

You can win a pair for yourself, as well as an auto-entry into the Two Oceans (*cough* vibe *cough*) Marathon!

It’s quite simple – follow this link and enter!

Good luck, señor Bolt!

Some people use the words “five minutes” when they actually mean eight or 10 minutes. We can honestly tell you that trial runs have produced times of between 4:05 and 5:07 for this survey. So you are guaranteed to have a chance of winning an iPad 2 (courtesy of Digicape) or a runner up prize from Sunglass Hut or Boschendal bubbly or De Grendal wine, in return for a mere five minutes of your time!

Good luck!

[WELL DONE TO JEN, STEVE, MINKI, SV AND STU]

It’s the 2012 Cape Town Tens tournament this weekend, and by all accounts it will be even more exciting than previous years. Especially since they’re packing it into two days, rather than three. That means we won’t have to witness broken (physically, emotionally) men hobbling along on the Sunday, barely able to determine in what direction they’re going!

They’re even giving away a Golf GTi. Check this out (competition below):

The popular Castle Cape Town Tens rugby event, brainchild of Bob Skinstad and Rob Fleck, is just around the corner! It takes place on Friday and Saturday, 3 and 4 February, and will be hosted at the Hamilton Rugby Club for the fourth consecutive year. This year’s Tens promises to be a highlight of the year with an exciting music line-up, appearances from local and international rugby legends, competitions and giveaways, and a new addition, an exciting rugby expo.

2012 boasts an incredible line-up of live entertainment including the popular group Goodluck, The Graeme Watkins Project, The Lightyears and Me and Mr Brown. With three rugby fields, beer and food tents, kiddies play areas, as well as a host of rugby legends and SA personalities, there is plenty to experience both on and off the rugby field for the whole family. Enjoy a drink with mates in the beer tent while watching the rugby action and the kids will be entertained at the same time in the play area.

Promising to be bigger and better than before, this year the number of teams has been increased from 56 to 72, with four divisions – a heavy and light Beer League, The Vets League and the more competitive Premier League. Rugby legends this year include international stars Leon Lloyd, Malcolm O’Kelly, Justin Marshall and David Rees, and local stars Jake Boer, Breyton Paulse, John Allen and Pieter Muller.

An amazing prize on offer this year is a brand-new Golf GTI to the value of R365 000, sponsored by Stor-Age. Contestants will test their rugby skills kicking for the post to determine the lucky winner.

This year’s Castle Cape Town Tens is proudly brought to you by Castle, Canterbury, Powerade and the City of Cape Town.

Tickets are on sale at R70 per person via Computicket HERE. Kids under 12 are free.

COMPETITION IS CLOSED. WELL DONE TO BUSISIWE AND EMMA,
WHO HAVE BOTH WON DOUBLE TICKETS TO THE QUEEN’S PLATE

It’s not only the most prestigious horse race in South Africa, it also happens to be the most prestigious EVENT of the year. It is the one date that we at 2oceansibe refuse to miss. Such class, style and fashionable good times are very hard to match, let alone find these days. Add to that the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate organisers’ policy of limited numbers, to ensure there is no overcrowding, and you’re looking at a stress-free day of true pleasure and decadence.

The L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate has distinguished itself as the most prestigious weight-for-age race in South Africa. It was first run in 1861 in honour of Queen Victoria. In January it will again bring together the most noble thoroughbreds in the country against an august backdrop of blue and white on a day of fine dining and world-class entertainment.

The white and blue elegance that will underpin the Best Dressed and Best Hat competition will be judged by some of South Africa’s leaders in the fashion industry, namely Sam Walker (PopYaCollar), Emily Bell (Marie Claire), Jacqui Kolbe (Milliner) and Tammy Tinker (British Vogue). The day will be captured by professional photographers in what has become known as The L’Ormarins Moment.

The popular Style Lounge will include culinary delights from sushi to gourmet burgers and sandwiches, as well as a selection of the finest Anthonij Rupert Wines. There will also be a selection of vintage cars on display from one of the largest collections in the world, courtesy of the Franschhoek Motor Museum.

We have managed to secure 2 X double tickets for you and a partner. That is if you can win this quick and easy competition.

To win one of the 2 X Double L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Style Lounge tickets valued at R250,00 each, email competition@2oceansvibe.com and tell us what the theme colours are of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate. Along with that answer, tell us why YOU should win a pair of tickets.

The best two entries win a pair of tickets each.

Competition closes Friday 9th at 14h00.

UPDATE: Well done to Steve W – who won the helicopter!!

Probably the greatest toy I have ever owned, this little “HELO TC” radio controlled helicopter, by Griffin (and sold at www.digicape.co.za) is now yours to win.

So if you want to win one, watch the latest episode of Tech Vibe and tell us what the helicopter’s body is made of.

Email your answer and the reasons why YOU should win it, and what you will do with it to competition@2oceansvibe.com.

The most brilliant answer will win it. Competition closes 15h00 Thursday.

THIS COMPETITION IS CLOSED: WELL DONE TO MICHAEL S & JARED R FOR OWNING THE GREATEST DSDs ON EARTH!

Anyone who has seen Eastbound & Down will agree it may well be the greatest series ever made. The main character, Kenny Powers, may well be the greatest man that ever lived. They recently released season 2 and it’s just as ludicrously funny! Anyone who has seen it, WILL want to own both seasons.

Anyone has HASN’T seen it, I feel sorry for you and you SHOULD want to own both seasons.

Check this out:

While you’re at it, check this stunning moment with Will Ferrell:

2oceansvibe is giving you the chance to own this little piece of heaven.

Our competitions are pretty rad. Because not only do we have TWO sets of Season 1 and Season 2 to give away, but if you don’t win, you might still become a billionaire!

What am I talking about? Well it’s simple!

HOW TO WIN

To stand a chance of winning Season 1 and 2 of Eastbound & Down, you need to send in proof of your purchase of a powerball lottery ticket from 2oceansvibe Lottos. The more you buy, the better chance you have of winning.

When you buy your tickets you will be sent an email, confirming your order. Forward that email to competition@2oceansvibe.com with the subject “Eastbound & Down” and the TWO winners (we have two copies of Season 1 and 2)  will be chosen randomly by computer and announced on Friday.

If you don’t win, you might still become a billionaire because Wednesday’s Powerball lottery jackpot is currently sitting at R1.3 BILLION. No spice. Check it out here.

Good luck!
