EKO Smile Competition: Second Winner Announced… Winning a Mercedes-Benz GLC 300e!

Through its award-winning EKO Smile app, EKO continues to reward consumers who place their trust in the brand, offering premium, high-value prizes through a fully reliable and transparent competition process.

The second EKO Smile Challenge took place on Friday, June 5, 2026, as part of the EKO Smile Competition. The grand prize winner was Mr. Christos Georgiades, who won a luxury Mercedes-Benz GLC 300e 4M Plug-in Hybrid, worth €80,100.

The event was hosted at The Landmark Nicosia hotel in a specially designed venue equipped with comprehensive technical support. The lucky contestant successfully completed three consecutive challenges testing knowledge, memory and skills, before receiving the keys to the Mercedes-Benz from EKO’s CEO, Mr. Giorgos Grigoras.

The event was attended by members of EKO’s management and HR teams, media representatives, as well as friends and family of the contestants. The evening was presented and coordinated by Ms. Andri Karantoni, who guided participants through the “Find the Symbols”, “EKO Knowledge” and “EKO Puzzle” challenges before the evening culminated in the announcement of the grand prize winner.

It is noted that the contestant selection process took place on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, through the random.org electronic platform, which does not allow any human intervention in the selection process. The draw was conducted by the Mayor of Latsia and Geri, Mr. Christos Pittaras, in the presence of an independent Legal Advisor and EKO senior executives, ensuring complete transparency.

Following the completion of the second EKO Smile Challenge, EKO CEO Mr. Giorgos Grigoras stated:
“The remarkable response of the public to the EKO Smile app is our strongest source of motivation. This dynamic participation encourages us to continuously enhance our reward initiatives, creating experiences that meaningfully enrich our everyday interaction with consumers. Through our unwavering commitment to innovation and quality, EKO Smile has become an integral part of the overall customer experience; while further strengthening the relationship of trust we have built with our customers.”
It should also be noted that two additional Mercedes-Benz GLC 300e 4M Plug-in Hybrid vehicles will be awarded to the winners of the upcoming EKO Smile Challenge events, which will take place later this year.
