Throughout the months of November and December 2005 and January 2006, spending Lm5 anywhere in the Embassy Complex on shopping, food, bingo or movies gave Embassy clients an opportunity to participate in the Embassy Grand Competition with the possibility of winning a brand new Ford Fiesta 1.3 Ambiente or one of the other fabulous prizes from the Westin Dragonara Resort and Melita Cable.

The competition came to a close on 27 January, with Shirley Mamo from Mosta, emerging as the lucky winner of the Grand Prize Ford Fiesta car.

All competition participants were either contacted by or required to tune into XFM 100.2, which broadcast all stages of the competition live.

After Phase 1 of the competition ending 30 January, 20 finalists emerged winning the following prizes:

Melita Digital subscription: Shirley Mamo, Brian Briffa, Lorraine Farrugia, Rebecca Vella and Alexia Pizzuto

Westin Fitness Centre membership: Annette Haber, Amanda Borg, Darren Agius, Jonathan Zahra Davis and Sandro Vella Clark

During Phase 2 of the competition the finalists were brought down to five, namely Rebecca Vella, Darren Agius, Shirley Mamo, Robert Sammut and Amanda Borg, of whom Shirley Mamo proceeded to win the Ford Fiesta.

The final was broadcast live on XFM 100.2. David Gasan officially presented the Ford Fiesta keys to Shirley Mamo on 21 February at the Embassy Cinemas Foyer, in the presence of representatives from Westin Dragonara, Melita Cable, XFM 100.2 and the Embassy Complex management.

A small reception followed the presentation.

The Embassy is planning many more similar competitions with Great Grand Prizes to be won in 2006.
