Local Enterprise Offices Ploughing Ahead with Local Enterprise Village with launch of €3,500 in prizes to be won for LEO Tractor Twitter Competition.
Take a ‘Tractor Selfie’ for chance to win €3,500 Prize Package
A prize package worth over €3,500 is up for grabs to mark the biggest-ever Local Enterprise Village at the National Ploughing Championships later this month.
85 small businesses, all supported by the Local Enterprise Offices, will be welcoming thousands of visitors to the new Local Enterprise Village at the Ploughing in County Laois from September 22nd to 24th.
They are inviting everyone to post a ‘Tractor Selfie’ on Twitter, to be in with a chance to win a prize package worth over €3,500 from companies within the Local Enterprise Village.
The Twitter competition is open to all, from now until 29th September 2015, when the winning selfie will be chosen at random. The lucky winner of the €3,500 prize package will be announced on 30th September.
To enter, simply take a selfie of yourself with a tractor and tweet it using #leotractor for your chance to win, before midnight on 29th September.*
The Local Enterprise Village will be home to 85 small businesses for the three days of the Championships (September 22nd – 24th), which is Europe’s largest outdoor event.
Local Enterprise Offices in every county are supporting small businesses at the Ploughing, which attracted 279,500 visitors in 2014, generating an estimated €39million in sales.
Kieran Comerford from Carlow Local Enterprise Office, said that the Local Enterprise Village has doubled in size in recent years, explaining: “For small, local businesses looking to expand, The Local Enterprise Village is the ideal gateway to customers across farming communities and rural Ireland. Many of the small businesses being supported by the Local Enterprise Offices will be testing new products and services in September, which in turn, will generate more jobs within those companies in the near future.”
Organised by the National Ploughing Association, the 84th National Ploughing Championships (www.npa.ie) are taking place in Ratheniska, Stradbally in County Laois and further details around the Local Enterprise Village are available from www.localenterprise.ie
