Monday 21st November marks the launch of OMO’s ‘Play with Purpose’ initiative. As part of this campaign they will be releasing twelve videos that offer a variety of ideas for how your family can come together in play.

Below is one of my favourite examples, dramatising the history and stories of your family by way of miniature theatre.

You can actively participate as well. OMO invites families to make your own ‘Play with Purpose’ video to share on the OMO Facebook page once the launch begins. If you need a little help they are creating their own customised interface which allows entrants to insert text and add a soundtrack. If you do enter, remember you will receive a free pair of overalls (while in stock– 500 overalls available) and the most voted for entry at the end of each week of the four week campaign will star in the 2012 official ‘Play with Purpose’ video.

Even better folks, to spread goodwill about this initiative OMO have a competition you can enter here at Miscellaneous Mum: a twelve month supply of OMO PODS. All you have to do is leave a comment saying what play idea you would use to make an interesting ‘Play with Purpose’ video. From these comments I will select the idea I think would be best.

Terms of Entry

  • Competition will stay open until 5pm, Friday 9th December.
  • Open to Australian residents only, one entry per person.
  • Please leave an active email address when you leave your comment.
  • If contact cannot be made with winner 48 hours after, I reserve the right to select an alternate winner.
  • Winner will be determined by skill/creativity.

These rules are different to my typical random number generator giveaways. This is because the nature of the regulations surrounding these kinds of competitions are trickier than I first realised and I just want to do things properly. I hope it doesn’t dissuade anyone from entering. Good luck!

Edited to add: The competition has now closed. Thanks for entering!
