yoggl_holiday_20-07-11July 21 - The Innsbruck 2012 Youth Olympic Games mascot Yoggl is the focus of a new competition titled the "Yoggl on Summer Holiday Photo Competition" which allows participants the chance to win the first soft toy versions of him.


The aim of the competition is to print out a picture of the mountain goat mascot and take him with you on holiday.

You must then take a picture of Yoggl on holiday, showing what the official Innsbruck 2012 mascot has been getting up to across the globe.

Your favourite Yoggl photo must be uploaded to http://www.facebook.com/Innsbruck2012 between now and September 16, 2011, for you to stand a chance of winning Innsbruck 2012 prizes.

"I'm off on my summer holidays now," said Yoggl on his Facebook page.

"Take me with you and win some of the first cuddly mini Yoggls!"

The ten photos with the most "Likes" on Facebook will receive the prizes.

Those who finish in the top three will receive the brand new soft toy version of the mascot that Yoggl referred to on his Facebook page.

They will also receive an official Innsbruck 2012 t-shirt signed by Winter Youth Olympic Ambassador and Olympic downhill gold medallist Lindsey Vonn.

Meanwhile those who finish in the fourth to tenth place will receive the official Innsbruck 2012 t-shirt.

The winners of the competition will be informed by the Innsbruck 2012 Organising Committee via email by September 30, 2011.

The Innsbruck 2012 Youth Olympics are set to take place between January 13 and 22 and will see 1,058 young athletes aged between 14 and 18-years-old in action.
