Verizon Wireless has announced today the launch of a new and cool contest that will end with 40 of its customers going to Paradise. Well, not to the real Paradise (if that even exists), but to Bahamas' Paradise Island.

 

The 40 winners will embark on a trip that has as final destination the Atlantis resort from said island. There, on December 13, the Jonas Brothers (America's latest hugely successful boy band) will be performing a live show, hence all of their fans should enter Verizon's new contest. To do so, you must buy either a Samsung Glyde or a Samsung Juke handset (between September 2nd and November 1st) and install the V CAST Music with Rhapsody service on your PC.

 

Verizon will further offer a "grand prize", which consists of: access to a private Jonas Brothers concert (at the same location), hotel accommodation, car service, roundtrip airfare and 500 bucks to spend at your will.

 

The contest participants can also have access to four exclusive Jonas Brothers live songs, from their latest "A Little Bit Longer" album.

 

"We're continuing to help fans connect with the Jonas Brothers in innovative ways while delivering exclusive music our customers can enjoy on their new Samsung phones. The Jonas Brothers are clearly the hottest act in the nation, and this program makes dreams come true for some of our customers with the trip of a lifetime to Atlantis," said Ed Ruth, director of digital music for Verizon.

 

Paul Golden, vice president of strategic marketing for Samsung Telecommunications America, added, "Samsung is excited and proud to be chosen as the exclusive mobile phone partner for Verizon Wireless’ program with the Jonas Brothers. The Jonas Brothers have some of the best fans out there, and we can't wait to meet the lucky Samsung owners who will meet the boys at Atlantis during this special and exclusive opportunity."
