Competition Details
Ring has launched the RingAndSing competition, allowing UK and Ireland residents to participate by recording themselves singing traditional Christmas carols. This initiative was inspired by five schoolboys from Denny, Scotland, who gained attention for a viral video featuring their rendition of Wham’s “Last Christmas.” The boys, Jack Campbell, Dylan Thompson, Cameron Bourne, Liam Phillips, and Ollie Shearer, visited their neighborhood singing for festive cheer.
Their performance was shared by doorbell owner Erin Chalmers on TikTok, amassing nearly 2 million views and highlighting the boys’ intentions to fundraise for Strathcarron Hospice. Each submission to the RingAndSing competition results in a £10 donation to the charity, emphasizing the campaign’s charitable essence.
Participants can enter from December 8 to December 15. Videos must showcase one or more individuals singing a traditional Christmas carol, such as “Deck the Halls,” and must be recorded using a Ring doorbell. To submit a video, participants simply use the ‘Share’ button in the Ring app, including the hashtag #RingAndSing.
The top five performances, selected by the boys, will each earn their creators a £1,000 Amazon voucher and free video doorbells for their entire street. Dylan was quoted expressing delight at the opportunity to make Christmas special for five families through this contest, stating, “I can’t believe we have been able to give five people a great Christmas through RingAndSing! Merry Christmas everyone, bye love you!”
This competition not only promotes community engagement through musical performances but also supports a worthy charitable cause, making it a festive opportunity for both participants and those in need.
