Radegast’s Horn Of Plenty Has Been Found

The principle of the competition’s first round was to send an SMS or fill out a form on the Web with unique numeric codes that contestants found under the Radegast bottle caps. Every tenth message won one of prizes such as GPS navigation, a multipurpose knife or a map of the Beskids. Fans of draft beer didn’t miss out either. After five drawn beers, the bartenders drew one winner who received a price and an SMS code. With the SMS, it was possible to qualify to the finals. Nearly 22,000 people took part in the contest.

The chosen finalists displayed their courage, skill, dexterity and patience in strenuous and attractive events such as jumping in the “seven mile” boots on the track, scaling a climbing wall, driving a quad-bike or eating a mealworm. “Our goal was not to make only the first prize winner happy after the finals, but all other finalists as well. Radegast gave the participants unusual experiences that will create beautiful memories,” said Radegast brand manager Pavel Kmínek.

Over 200 people from the ranks of contenders’ friends and family members attended the final competition and created a great competition atmosphere. The event was prepared for Plzeňský Prazdroj, a. s., Radegast brand, by Viking Agency from Havířov. Besides the organization, one of the most difficult tasks was the construction of an artificial maze from pipes and black plastic foil.
