As well as taking part in one of the best marketing campaigns I’ve seen to date on the internet, you can also bag yourself thousands of pounds worth of prizes in the process. Read on so we can tell you more about it…

You may have been wondering what the Racoon at the bottom left of the page is doing? Well, Orange the network provider are launching the animal tariffs on their pay-as-you-go mobiles and to mark the launch they have put together the worlds first Internet Balloon race, where the balloons are shaped like animals…hence why the Racoon is floating across our website right now!

So Here’s How it Works:

1. Go to the Orange site playballoonacy.com and register your balloon, they come in 4 animal shapes a Dolphin, Panther, Canary and Racoon, each with its own statistics, so take some time in deciding which one you think is best
2. When the balloons are released they will float from site-to-site picking up pace, it will also collect stars, in which every 5 stars entitles you to a daily prize draw entry.
3. There is also a prize for the balloon that travels the furthest over the 7 days - every site your balloon appears on is an internet mile, you can also boost the speed of your balloon too by collecting nudges from your friends. If your balloon flies the furthest you’ll win a holiday fun filled holiday to Ibiza worth £16,500 ($30,000).
