Cathay Pacific’s Latest Facebook Contest a Work of Art

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“Blending Borders,” Cathay Pacific Airways’ newest Facebook contest celebrates the best of its home city – Hong Kong – and its newest destination – Chicago, where daily service begins Sept. 1st.

“Chicago and Hong Kong both have memorable skylines, a wide choice of well-known architectural landmarks as well as many famous moments in history to choose from”

Using photography, illustrations, sculpture, metal works or other tastefully creative mediums, artists are challenged to “blend” iconic images from both cities and submit their entries via the airline’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/cathaypacificus for a chance to win two roundtrip tickets to Hong Kong.

“Chicago and Hong Kong both have memorable skylines, a wide choice of well-known architectural landmarks as well as many famous moments in history to choose from,” said Eric Odone, Cathay Pacific’s vice president, sales and marketing, Americas. “There are lots of opportunities to show your creative prowess.”

The winner will also receive a special Feng Shui tour while in Hong Kong as well as the display of his or her piece for thousands to see.
