Celebrating the Third Millennium With YT Style [Archives:1999/51/Front Page]

Despite the fact that we are quickly approaching the 21st century and are about to enter a new millennium, the excitement among Yemenis is practically nonexistent. Yemen Times is going to try to bring some attention to the importance of the turn of the millennium through the THIRD MILLENNIUM COMPETITION. Through the competition, Yemen Times will bring more anticipation of and appreciation for the occasion in Yemen. The competition, which will last at least 4 weeks, will begin on the 3rd of January 2000. 
The competition is sponsored by a number of prominent companies and establishments. The interesting thing about the competition is that the winner will receive the biggest cash prize this newspaper has ever given. The first prize will be one million rials in cash, and will be delivered in a ceremony that will be held at the beginning of the year. There will be an intense campaign for the competition on TV and through banners and posters. The sponsors will be given top priority in their color ads and will be mentioned in the posters and in the TV commercial designed for the competition. As soon as we published information about the competition in last week’s issue, we received hundreds of calls from people wanting to participate and companies willing to sponsor the event. In the end, we are glad that we will be making a difference in this turn of the century.
