All entrants need to do is purchase any tin of paint that features the Dulux Dog on Dulux branded product packaging, SMS ‘Brazil’, one's name, the last four digits of the barcode, as well as the store indicated on one's till slip to 32083.

What’s more, 10 lucky runners-up will stand in line to win a Sony Bravia 46” LED TV. Terms and conditions available on www.dulux.co.za.

The grand prize includes two tickets to Brazil worth R100 000, seven night’s accommodation, a grandstand ticket to the Rio Carnival 2014, as well as spending money to the value of R20 000 ensuring winners can do the samba in style.

What’s more, the winning couple will be treated to a full day Corcovado and Sugarloaf Mountains tour with lunch, a full day visit with lunch included to Tropical islands which are part of the Sepetiba Bay, a half day tour to Petrópolis City (also known as The Imperial City of Brazil), as well as a half day Jeep tour of the Tijuca Forest and botanical gardens.

It’s important that entrants keep their till slip in a safe place, as failure to produce proof of purchase will unfortunately result in disqualification. Winners of the 10 Sony BRAVIA 46-inch LED televisions, which retail at R7 999 each, will no doubt also do a happy dance. They too, will have to produce proof of purchase, as well as a valid TV licence in order to claim their prize.

The competition closes Wednesday, 15 January, so now is the time to bring some colour to one's work or living space. When selecting the tin of paint to be used as one's competition entry, why not be inspired by the glamorously flamboyant shades of South America.
