New York – As the Official Champagne of New Year’s Eve in Times Square for the second consecutive year, Moët & Chandon is proud to unite millions of people for one of the most memorable toasts of 2014. Leading up to this year’s celebration, the world’s most beloved champagne launches a social media campaign, along with New York talk show host Andy Cohen, which encourages people to share the moment that most inspired them in 2014. Those who enter will have the chance to win a trip to the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration in New York City to tell their story of inspiration and see it honored in the first-ever Official Toast of New Year’s Eve in Times Square, given in front of more than 1 million spectators.
“Moët & Chandon is pleased to return as the official Champagne of New Year’s Eve in Times Square,” said Thomas Bouleuc, Vice President, Moët & Chandon USA. “This year, we are encouraging people to share their most Inspiring Moment from 2014 and to raise their glasses to it, turning that moment into a milestone. New Year’s Eve is an opportunity to honor our most memorable moments from the year – both big and small – as we begin to look toward those to come in 2015.”
“What better way to celebrate last year’s triumphs and next year’s adventures than with a glass of Moët & Chandon at midnight? New Year’s Eve in Times Square is a memorable moment in itself and we are excited to work with Moët & Chandon to virtually ‘cheers!’ with revelers all over the world,” said Tim Tompkins, President of Times Square Alliance.
“The partnership between New Year’s Eve in Times Square and Moët & Chandon highlights the perfect pairing – Champagne and New Year’s Eve,” added Jeff Straus, President of Countdown Entertainment. “We once again look forward to toasting with Moët, and to sharing one lucky winner’s moment of 2014 with more than one million participants on New Year’s Eve in Times Square.”
To enter the contest, participants have the option of submitting their inspiring moment with a toast on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook by using the hashtag #MoetMoment2014 and uploading an illustrative image. In addition, if the participant tags a person who was most associated with that moment, the winner will be able to bring their “toast muse” along with them to experience the ultimate #MoetMoment in Times Square on New Year’s Eve.
The contest winner will be decided on December 24th, when a judging panel composed of Moët & Chandon’s Thomas Bouleuc, Andy Cohen, Tim Tompkins and Jeffrey Straus will select and announce one winning submission. That winner and his or her guest will then be flown to New York City for a once in a lifetime, all expenses paid experience that includes airfare, a two-night hotel stay and an extravagant New Year’s Eve dinner. Most importantly, the winner’s toast will serve to inspire the Official Toast of New Year’s Eve in Times Square, which will be seen on 7 giant video screens including the screen atop One Times Square, directly below the New Year’s Eve Ball!
