Friendly Wesselsbron face #OFMFanWall grand prize winner | News Article

One of OFM's biggest competitions of the year, the #OFMFanWall, reached its epic conclusion with the awarding of the grand prize of R20 000 cash on 1 July 2022 – OFM’s 36th birthday.

Listeners were able to enter the competition by visiting any of OFM's outdoor broadcasts to have their photo taken from March until the end of June. These photos now form part of a huge digital photo album and will also feature on highway billboards as well as prominent places in Central South Africa.

During the last phase of the campaign, 16 semi-finalists were selected in a random draw.

Finally, four finalists were randomly drawn during the last week of the competition. They were Patrick Rose from Upington, Riana Oosthuizen from Vanderbijlpark, Taytum Adonis from Klerksdorp, and Marghalet van der Linde from Wesselsbron.

On the morning of 1 July, during the Good Morning Breakfast show, finalists were eliminated throughout the morning. Rose and Van der Linde were the final contestants left standing.

After much suspense, Van der Linde was announced as the grand prize winner.

She entered the competition when her photo was taken at OFM's outdoor broadcast at Grain SA's NAMPO Harvest Day in May.

“I can’t believe it, it feels unreal!” van der Linde exclaimed. “Thank you OFM and have a great birthday. It feels like my birthday as well!”

Van der Linde also used the opportunity to express what the radio station means to her: “You mean so much to us (listeners), encouraging us, playing songs that make your day, giving us interesting stories… My radio is constantly on OFM. You travel everywhere with me!”

According to OFM Content Manager, Elzette Boucher-Krüger, this was another amazing #OFMTwenty20You campaign from The Sound of Your Life.

“Towards the end of 2021 already, OFM endeavoured to create opportunities for our listeners to turn 2022 into ‘Twenty-20-You’. Our first campaign saw a deserving student win a year’s tuition at Potchefstroom Academy and SAAST. We also established our monthly Bucks for Bills competition to help listeners pay their bills in these trying times. Then, The Real Good Travel Book competition awarded R15 000 cash for a bucket list travel story. Now, the big one – the Fan Wall – has concluded. We not only made an OFM fan R20 000 richer, but through this campaign we’ve crisscrossed our broadcast region, meeting the people who tune in and collecting a myriad of friendly faces, representing the beautiful people of our special broadcast region.”

OFM would like to thank our loyal advertisers without whom these campaigns would not be possible.
We look forward to the second half of 2022 and making sure that we keep on creating opportunities for our listeners to have the best year ever.

Vriendelik Wesselsbron gesig #OFMFanWall grootprys wenner

Een van OFM se grootste kompetisies van die jaar, die #OFMFanWall, het sy hoogtepunt bereik op OFM se 36ste verjaardag op 1 Julie 2022, met die toekenning van die groot prys van R20 000 kontant.

Luisteraars kon vanaf Maart tot die einde Junie vir die kompetisie inskryf deur enige van OFM se buite-uitsendings te besoek om hul foto te laat neem. Hierdie fotos vorm nou deel van 'n reuse digitale foto-album en sal ook op snelweë advertensieborde en in prominente plekke in Sentraal Suid-Afrika verskyn.

Tydens die laaste fase van die veldtog is 16 semi-finaliste in 'n ewekansige trekking gekies. Daarna is ook vier finaliste ewekansig gedurende die laaste week van die kompetisie getrek. Hulle was Patrick Rose van Upington, Riana Oosthuizen van Vanderbijlpark, Taytum Adonis van Klerksdorp, en Marghalet van der Linde van Wesselbron.

Die finale trekking het op die oggend van 1 Julie plaasgevind in die Good Morning Breakfast-program, wat finaliste deur die oggend uitgeskakel het. Rose en Van der Linde was die laaste deelnemers wat staande gebly het.

Na baie spanning is Van der Linde as die grootprys wenner aangekondig.

Sy het vir die kompetisie ingeskryf toe haar foto by OFM se buite-uitsending by Graan SA se NAMPO Oesdag in Mei geneem is.

"Ek kan dit nie glo nie, dit voel onwerklik!" het Van der Linde gejuig. “Dankie OFM en lekker verjaar. Dit voel ook soos my verjaarsdag!”

Van der Linde het ook die geleentheid gebruik om te verwoord wat die radiostasie vir haar beteken: “Julle beteken so baie vir ons (luisteraars), moedig ons aan, speel liedjies wat jou dag maak, gee vir ons interessante stories... My radio is gedurig op OFM. Julle ry oral saam met my!”

Volgens OFM-inhoudbestuurder, Elzette Boucher-Krüger, was hierdie nog 'n wonderlike #OFMTwenty20You-veldtog.

“Reeds teen die einde van 2021, het OFM gepoog om geleenthede vir ons luisteraars te skep om 2022 in ‘Twenty-20-You’ te verander. Ons eerste veldtog het daartoe gelei dat 'n verdienstelike student 'n jaar se klasgeld by Potchefstroom Academy en SAAST gewen het. Ons het ook ons maandelikse Bucks for Bills-kompetisie gestig om luisteraars te help om hul rekeninge te betaal in hierdie moeilike tye. Toe het The Real Good Travel Book-kompetisie R15 000 kontant vir 'n moet-doen reisverhaal toegeken en nou het die groot een, die ‘Fan Wall’, afgesluit deur nie net 'n OFM-aanhanger R20 000 ryker te maak nie, maar deur hierdie veldtog het ons die uitsaaigebied deurkruis, ons het die mense ontmoet wat inskakel en het ons 'n magdom vriendelike gesigte, wat die pragtige mense van ons spesiale uitsaaistreek verteenwoordig, versamel."

OFM wil ons lojale adverteerders bedank sonder wie hierdie veldtogte nie moontlik sou wees nie.

Ons sien uit na die tweede helfte van 2022 en maak seker dat ons aanhou om geleenthede te skep vir ons luisteraars om die beste jaar ooit te beleef.
