Snap a selfie in your specs

Girls Aloud singer and West End actress Kimberley Walsh is calling all local glasses wearers to snap a selfie in their specs to be in with a last chance of winning a £10,000 jackpot and a dream holiday.

Kimberley has teamed up with Specsavers in Antrim and Ballymena and anti-bullying charity Kidscape to champion the annual Spectacle Wearer of the Year competition.

She is seeking a special specs-wearer with Something Kinda Oooh, and with only two weeks to go, competition is fierce.

This year’s overall winner will be presented with £10,000 in cash and a dream holiday to the Bahamas at a star-studded event hosted by Gok Wan later this year.

Kimberley said: “It’s been brilliant to see so many entries so far from the Antrim and Ballymena area. It’s obviously a place where people love their glasses but there must be more people out there and I really want to see them.”

There are four age categories – 16-24; 25-39; 40-59 and 60+ - as well as a Facebook favourite voted for by the public. A winner from each category will win a VIP makeover and will attend the celebrity-studded grand final in London October 7.

To be in with a chance of scooping the biggest accolade in the specs-wearing world, specs wearers can enter the competition online, www.specsavers.co.uk/loveglasses, via Facebook, www.facebook.com/specsavers or at their nearest Specsavers store.
