Jan 24 The "How To Guide" to winning a brand new Hyundai Santa Fe this summer, or helping your friends win!

This summer Hyundai New Zealand want to get us all back onto the beach, and reconnected to the simpler things in life.

Summer is all about sun, surf, sand, fun and family. What better way to join all of these things together than a good old fashioned sand castle competition.

There is a twist though. We are living in a very connected world, and as such Hyundai are using Facebook to determine the winner. It is a popularity contest so lets make the most of what we have got!

We have put together a guide to how this competition works, and how you can make the most of your chances to win the brand new Hyundai Santa Fe.

Sand castles are a kiwi institution. A summer tradition.
Being a very beach orientated country sand castles are just something that we all do at some point in our lives. Whether it be something we used to enjoy as kids, or something we enjoy doing with our kids, building sand castles is a summer ritual.

There is a trick in building a really impressive sand sculpture though. It is all about compression. The sand needs to be moist and dense in order to be able to finely sculpt it. We have posted a few sand sculpture videos on this page (click here).

The next step is to get onto Facebook, onto the Hyundai NZ page (http://www.facebook.com/HyundaiNZ) and activate the Facebook App. You just need to click on the main banner at the top of the page to jump you to the App. This is the banner to look for (or you can click on our picture to go straight to the APP to install it.....)

Once you have got into the APP install page you will be presented with this:

The first step is to read the Terms & Conditions (or you can scroll to the bottom of this article to read them).Let us save you soem time though. This Facebook App is completely safe. You can choose to not receive any emails from Hyundai, and the developers of the App assure you in the Terms & Conditions that all private info will be deleted the day after the competition ends.

Then you need to set your privacy settings. We have chosen to share our posts from this APP with our Facebook Friends so we can spread the word amongst our own network.

Once you are comfortable with your Privacy settings click on the "Go to App" button and you will see this screen:

You are in. Easy as that. Now it is either time to upload your own picture, or vote on one that you like. If you are going to view all of the competition entires so far hit the orange "View & Vote" button. This will give you an idea of what you are up against, and how many votes each entry has received so far.

If you have installed the App so that you can Vote to help someone you know win, voting is very easy. Just look for their photo and click on the Yellow bar at the bottom. You will have to fill out some personal details (Name, address, phone number) and then job done. You have helped them get a vote closer to winning the Santa Fe for a year!

Once you have voted you exit to this screen:
