#OPIManiMadness: OPI’s First Ever Bracket Style Nail Art Tournament
In the spirit of one of the most popular annual sporting events in the U.S., the NCAA’s March Madness, OPI has announced their first ever bracket style competitive nail art tournament, #OPIManiMadness.
Starting March 12, 2019, sixteen (16) top nail artists throughout North America will go head to head on @OPI and @OPI_Professional Instagram accounts to create the best competition-worthy nail looks in four, single-elimination rounds. One winner will take the title as the 2019 #OPIManiMadness All-Star Nail Champion.
OPI fans are encouraged to create their very own custom#OPIManiMadness brackets before tipoff on February 25 – March 11, 2019 at opi.com/blog. Participants can submit a bracket with their picks for which nail artist they think has the best skills and techniques to win each round. The most accurate bracket predictions will win a grand prize chosen on April 2, 2019, comprised of two tickets to an NBA basketball game and $100 in salon nail services.
Each week, OPI fans will have the opportunity to cast their vote for the best nail art looks through special polling on @OPI and @OPI_Professional Instagram Stories to determine the winner that advances to the next round. The final #OPIManiMadness All-Star Nail Champion and the winning nail art look will be selected on April 2, 2019 and shared on @OPI and @OPI_Professional Instagram’s. The final nail art champion will win tickets for two to Minneapolis, Minnesota to see the NCAA March Madness Championship game.
