Talent Search for Females to become a member of The Fantanas

A talent search is now underway for females to become a member of Fantana, the singing and dancing group that promotes Fanta. The Fantanas are back (with three new members), and now Fanta is looking for one more to join the group.

Females (at least 18 years of age and in the US) who are interested can submit a one minute video and short essay now until June 30th showcasing their singing/dancing ability and explaining why they want to be a Fantana. The grand prize winner will receive $5,000 and the opportunity to sign an agreement to become the fourth Fantana, which includes appearing in Fanta’s advertising and marketing campaign.

The Fantanas will be accepting fan submissions as they search for a new member who embodies the exuberant spirit of Fanta and can express that spirit through singing, dancing and ingenuity. Fanta lovers who think they have what it takes to be a Fantana can visit www.Fanta.com to submit a one minute video in which they showcase the refreshing personality of the brand and highlight the carefree Fantana attitude. From July to September fan ratings and a selected panel of judges will help identify who will be the fourth Fantana.

Fanta fans will play an integral part in the selection process of the newest Fantana. Once the submission phase has concluded, fans and contestants will be encouraged to have their friends and family rate their favorite video.
