Opus Energy calls on the public to vote for their favourite video in their 10k community competition

Aug. 14, 2012 - PRLog -- To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Opus Energy – an energy supplier to businesses - last month launched a competition for charities and non-profit community groups in the local area, with a fantastic prize of £10k.

The company has been overwhelmed at the response it’s received to date which range from charities for disabled children and homeless people, to not-for-profit community dance groups and local gardens.

The videos are being put to a public vote on the Opus Energy Gift website (http://www.opusenergygift.com), which closes on 10th September. If you haven’t already voted, Opus Energy encourages you to take a look and place your vote on the  Opus Energy Gift website! (http://www.opusenergygift.com)

The competition’s really hotting up, as there are just 2 weeks left to go for groups in the local area – that’s Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire - to enter! They are invited to prepare and submit a short video identifying the aim and purpose of the group and what project they would use a stake of the £10k prize for. The deadline for entries is 27th August.

Once all the public votes are in and counted up, the video submissions will then be judged by a panel of Opus Energy executives and local representatives. The judges will consider public votes and the impact that each shortlisted project will have on Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire.

Full details about the competition and video submission process are available on the Opus Energy Gift website (http://www.opusenergygift.com). Questions and requests for further information about Opus Energy or the Opus Energy Gift competition should be sent to gift@opusenergy.com or can be made by telephone on 0845 263 7214.
