Almatur travel agency started a cooperation with Marcin Gortat’s Foundation ‘MG13. Aim high ‘As part of the cooperation Almatur decided to offer 100 places at its camps for children whose fathers perform the military service on Polish missions. The children will go to sports camps endorsed by Marcin Gortat.

On its profile, Almatur has also organised a competition with Marcin Gortat titled ‘Where is the ball?’ In the competition, the participants have to guess correctly in what place the ball might be at the moment – the ball which Marcin Gortat ‘lost’ at one of Almatur’s camps. The ball covers the photo showing a particular place. Every every two days more fragments of the photo are uncovered, in this way revealing the whole scenery at the end of each week.

The competition consists of four rounds and every week there is a winner. The fastest users have a chance to win balls and T-shirts with Marcin Gortat’s autographs. Between the tasks Marcin comments on the participants’ doings in the form of short, funny speech bubbles. There are also suggestions as to the places where the ball might be.

The interactive agency Biuro Podróży Reklamy is responsible for the concept, realisation and conducting the competition. The competition lasts from 14th May to 11th June. The person responsible for its implementation is Marcin Kulczycki (the Project Manager).
