The Disney Store Launches Quest For The UK’s Answer To Hannah Montana

3 March, 2008: Singing sensation Hannah Montana is hot property in America and she’s already causing a storm in the UK with Disney Store!

Inspired by Hannah’s success, Disney Store’s ‘Make Me a Pop Star’ campaign invites kids to send in their best pop star pose to be in with a chance of winning the ultimate VIP experience including a recording session in your own private studio, a private shopping spree at the UK Disney Store of your choice and a chauffeur driven limo! The campaign celebrates the success of the hit Disney Channel show, Hannah Montana.

Kids up to 16 can upload their pop star poses to makemeapopstar.co.uk and check out the daily gallery to see if they are one of the favourite pop star poses of the day. Entrants can also submit their poses in store and all forms of entry will be accepted between 11th February and 30th April.

‘Make Me a Pop star’ coincides with the introduction of a wide new range of Hannah Montana products in store. From dance mats to Hannah Montana wigs, fans are sure to find the perfect product to turn them into their pop idol. Featured on the website are some poptastic online exclusives including an LCD TV and an iPod docking station.

Joanne Webb, Marketing Director for Disney Store Europe, said: “To celebrate Hannah’s success and to encourage British talent, we’re looking for someone with real star quality. Kids should think as big as possible with their pop star poses. The winning entry is guaranteed a full VIP experience – we’re thrilled to be giving someone a taste of the pop star lifestyle.”

The biggest range of Hannah Montana products is now available in store and online at the Disney Store.
