The games have been played, the slime has been counted, and it's now time to announce that the winning team of Nickelodeon Slime Cup 2014, the winners of the coveted Nickelodeon Slime Cup trophy, the messiest trophy in sports, is...
The Yellow Team!
Congratulations to Amber Montana, Cameron Ocasio, Patrick Star, Timmy Turner and Michelangelo, and everyone who supported Team Yellow during this years Nickelodeon Slime Cup contest!
This summer, four teams consisting of 20 popular Nickelodeon Stars from the hit Nick shows "SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Haunted Hathaways", "The Thundermans", "Fairly OddParents", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Sanjay and Craig" and "Sam & Cat" have been battling it out in a series of slimy games whilst NickHeads all over the world have been going online to collect slime for their chosen team to help lead their favourite Nick stars to victory so they can take home the coveted prize – the Nickelodeon Slime Cup trophy.
The 14-week multi-territory, multi-platform event fronted by Slime Cup Ambassador and mascot, SpongeBob SquarePants, drove participation across both Nickelodeon channels and digital websites, with the Slime Cup coming to life in select markets through specially created retail, theme park and mall experiences and on-the-ground events.
The three month initiative started and finished with two special TV events. "The Nickelodeon Slime Cup Challenge" kicked off on-air in June 2014, and featured the live-action stars from Team Blue, Team Purple, Team Red and Team Yellow as they competed in three rounds of slime-filled head-to-head challenges to earn slime for their teams. The campaign culminated in August 2014 with the second special TV event, "Slime Cup: Tournament of Champions", featuring Nickelodeon's favorite NickToon stars and the reveal of the winning Nickelodeon Slime Cup team.
In the "Nickelodeon Slime Cup Challenge", Team Red vaulted into first place after Zoran Korach and Curtis Harris CRUSHED it the first special, whilst Team Blue dropped to second place, Yellow continued to fall back in the standings while Purple couldn't get out of the basement!
Then, in a aweslime "Tournament of Champions", all four teams put up a good fight, but in the end Sanjay took down best bud Craig to put Purple back in the lead. But that wasn't the end of it! During "SpongeBob: Extreme Spots", all of the great work NickHeads did - the collecting, the tweets, the recruiting - was tallied, and in the end, Team Purple came in fourth place, Team Red placed third place, Team Blue landed second place, and Team Yellow came in first place, walking away with the messiest trophy in sports... The Slime Cup!
Nickelodeon fans were able to follow the action between the network's linear channel and its digital sites. Online (www.slimecup.com) from June through August, Nickelodeon fans were able to move between their local Nickelodeon channel and digital sites, to root, rally and collect slime for their chosen team by participating in web-based activities. NickHeads were also invited to play games, answer polls and quizzes, view special behind-the-scenes content, watch online streaming video clips, and track their teams progress using the Nickelodeon Slime Cup slime-o-meter. Throughout the campaign, the site featured new and exciting content including a Slime Cup Victory Dance Competition which launched in June, a brand new custom game "Slime Cup Games" which debuted in July, and activities encouraging kids to train along with some of their favorite Nickelodeon stars by participating in weekly fitness challenges. Kids were even able to create their very own personalised team stat card on the site.
