Private radios are fast becoming popular amongst the younger generation. To establish synergy between these radio services and the listeners, Radio Foorti (a newly launched radio) and Aawaz (the local brand name of Digitania) jointly arranged a quiz contest. The prize-giving ceremony of the contest was held on November 1 at the Radio Foorti office. The organisers pointed out that around one lakh people participated in the competition. Above 40,000 contestants sent the correct answers through sms. The lucky winner Ella Quiah from Mohakhali, Dhaka won a PC with an LCD monitor. "It's a unique contest," said an elated Ella, the first Aawaj/Foorti sms contest winner. Aawaz and Radio Foorti also gave away attractive gifts along with Taka 1,000 worth of free talk time to the top three contestants who sent the highest number of sms'. Arild Klokkerhaug, the head of Aawaz, asserted, "Aawaz is an sms contest facilitator working in partnership with all mobile operators. Aawaz promises to bring exciting new contests to its registered users every month. And as both the newly inaugurated private radio services as well as mobiles are popular amongst the younger generation, we are trying to create new opportunities connecting mobile service and radio service." Arild further said that thousands of users are now registered in the Aawaz community. Aawaz will introduce more exciting sms services to its registered users soon. Anyone with a mobile phone can register by sending username, gender and area to 5455.
