nasair, the national carrier of Saudi Arabia, has announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind Saudi National Day Photo Competition in partnership with Volvo (First Motor Company). 

Hosted on nasair’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/nasair) the competition is currently running from 8th to 07th October 2013, and is open to nationals and residents of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 

Contestants can upload their photos on nasair Facebook page and fans can share and vote for the photos, which must have a specific Saudi National Day theme. The top 20 entries will be chosen based on the number of votes received and out of these nasair will select one winner.  

“In the giving spirit of Saudi National Day, nasair is partnering First Motor Company to offer the magnificent prize of a Volvo S80 model T4 for the winner of this innovative social media competition,” said Megat Ardian, Chief Commercial Officer of nasair. “This is a marvelous chance for citizens and residents alike to share in the celebrations of the Kingdom’s great day, whether by entering the competition or voting for their favorite photo that best expresses the pride and joy of Saudi National Day.” 

“At nasair we are passionately committed to communicating with our customers through our social channels and we are well recognized at regional and international levels for the scope and depth of our engagement with our social media fans,” “As proof, we are proud to say that nasair Facebook is one of the fastest growing fan pages for a brand in the Middle East and has over 1.87 million fans.”

Adding his comments, David J Forster, General Manager – KSA, First Motor Company, the Volvo dealer in Saudi Arabia, said: “We are very pleased to partner with nasair as part of their national day celebrations. We believe this partnership will provide added value to both nasair and Volvo customers looking to own a quality premium vehicle, which is widely regarded as one of the safest in the Kingdom. Our association with the Kingdom’s national carrier shows our commitment to forming a strategic long-term engagement with our customers in Saudi Arabia.”
