Collect those Dead String and Win Amazing Prizes.
mechanics of this Contest is you will just collect Used String or we call it
"Dead Strings" as many as you can.
Kitty String started this Environmental Friendly Contest since 2007 here at the Philippines and it is a successful Project of Kitty Strings.
Most of the Player after the Strings cannot be used anymore they just throw it in a trash. That's why I came up with this Contest for us to keep our surroundings clean and to make those Dead Strings still useful in this kind of Contest.
Those collected String are combined to our Dead String Ball. Which we are rolling the Used String to make a Gigantic Dead String ball.
