Phase One (from April 9 to May 31): Preliminary selection

This phase includes the "Online Olympic Tour" and "Beautiful Family Stories" program

 

Step One: Join an "Online Olympic Tour" that includes quizzes and games at the cybercheckpoints throughout the Olympic cities. You are free to choose the set of tests (two quizzes and one game) at any checkpoint. Once you have passed the tests, go on to the next step.

 

Step Two: Submit your family information and get a family ID and password. This will put you on a short list of winning families.

 

Step Three: Join the "Beautiful Family Stories" program by uploading data (texts, pictures, etc.) about the Olympics and sports. After appraisal, these will be displayed on a web page; web surfers will be able to vote for their favorite families.

 

The official website will choose the top 50 ranking families on the basis of the votes received on both the Chinese and English versions of the campaign. So by the end of the first phase, 100 families will remain for the second round selection.

 

Phase Two (from June 1 to June 30): Second round selection

During this phase, the 100 families have to run a theme blog for the "Beautiful Family Stories" program and continually update its content with photographs and texts illustrating the topics chosen by the official website.

 

The website visitors can access the family blogs via the "Beautiful Family Stories" webpage, and vote for their favorite family. The voting will be open to the public.

 

The final winners -- the top five families on the voting rank of each version -- will thus be produced.

 

The shortlisted families that fail the second round will receive Olympic souvenirs and tickets to the "Good Luck Beijing" sports events.

 

To encourage participation, the website will present Olympic souvenirs to randomly chosen visitors.

 

Phase Three: The winning families are taken on a tour through the Olympic cities (from July 1 to August 16)

 

Step One: Get prepared for the tour, i.e. get all your traveling documents.

 

Step Two: Gather in Beijing, travel to the Olympic co-host cities, watch the "Good Lucky Beijing" sports events and tour the Olympic venues.

 

Step Three: Return to Beijing and attend the closing ceremony of the campaign.
