You heard about a little something called the ‘Creative Giveaway’ contest that we’d been running on our website? Well, it finally came down to this: One winner walking away with the grand prize of Apple products worth USD$1200.

Criest Roony, 20, who’s in the midst of completing his Bachelor of Business (Hons) in International Business at Limkokwing University’s Cyberjaya campus, took home a Macbook and an iPod touch, telling us how “absolutely unexpected” it was to have won when he came to pick up his prize, but added that he was also “very glad.”

“The Macbook will help me in my studies. As for the iPod touch however, I think it will be reserved solely for leisure time,” said Criest when asked about how he will be making use of his new gadgets.

Criest didn’t find out about the contest via word of mouth, stumbling upon it instead when he was trying to log into the student portal. This lucky coincidence was just the start. His diligence in answering the weekly questions made all the difference between him and the other contestants.

He also found out about his win through the website. “I tried to access the Limkokwing website to look for the results. The page was loading and then I saw my name appear. It was surprising,” said Criest.

The Creative Giveaway contest ran for four weeks, starting from the first week of December last year and ended on the first week of January this year. It required contestants to answer a new batch of questions every week for four consecutive weeks. The contest proved to be a real hit, generating tons of web traffic and hundreds of fans on Facebook and saw more than 500 people taking part.

The Limkokwing website will be holding more online contests this year where you’ll stand a chance to win more attractive prizes so check back regularly because you don’t want to miss out.
