Presented by Singtel TV along with sponsor Pilot Pen and partner Polar Puffs & Cakes, the two-day free-entry event will be held at City Square Mall, the event’s venue sponsor on Saturday, 16 July and Sunday, 17 July 2016. Key new highlights at the Nickelodeon Slime Cup 2016 include:
* First Day Exclusive only for Singtel customers across Mobile, TV and Broadband, so they get a head start on the sporting action with a weekend of rollicking family fun. Singtel customers are invited to the Nickelodeon Slime Cup 2016 Opening Ceremony on 16 July, Saturday, at noon, where Nickelodeon characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Marshall and Chase from PAW Patrol will make a special appearance.
* Special appearance by Megan Lee, Louriza Tronco and Dale Whibley, stars from Nickelodeon’s comedic, music-infused series Make It Pop will be at the event on both days to meet fans and take part in the games.
Nickelodeon’s slimiest integrated sports festival, continues to promote active living through play for kids and their families through a series of engaging stage activities, meet-and-greet sessions with beloved characters and game booths which allow attendees to get up close and personal with the green slime that is Nickelodeon’s badge of honour.
“We’re thrilled to be organising the Nickelodeon Slime Cup with Singtel for the fourth year – Nickelodeon’s mission is to create surprising and playful entertainment experiences everywhere its fans are, all done with a healthy dose of that green slime that has been a trademark of Nickelodeon. It’s a busy world that we live in, which makes it important to let kids be kids and have a silly, slimy good time every once in a while,” said Syahrizan Mansor, Vice President, Nickelodeon Brand, Asia, Viacom International Media Networks.
Since the inaugural event in 2013 with Singtel TV, the Nickelodeon Slime Cup in Singapore has seen more than 23,000 kids and their families playing with over 21,000 litres of slime. For the first time ever at this year’s festival, fans can check out a four-foot tall Nickelodeon Slime Cup trophy, score slime points for a live Slime Meter for their team, be showered by slime from a giant nostril, and see Marshall and Chase from action-adventure preschool series PAW Patrol. Contestants can expect more slime, new game stations, and take a cue from the slime rating indicated for each game.
Kids and families will be able to participate in activities ranging from gladiator face-offs, being part of a life-sized foosball match and gliding down a slime alley on a float to knock down big bowling pins, amongst other physical challenges. Each child will be the owner of a scorecard that allows them to collect a stamp upon completion of each activity and they will also help accumulate points for the team they are representing. In return, kids will receive goodie bags* and possible slimings when the Slime Siren goes off.
The slime-filled weekend will feature:
* Opening Ceremony: Nickelodeon Slime Cup 2016 will kick off with an Opening Ceremony by the Wildcards Cheerleading Team. Thereafter, warm up for the games with Nickelodeon characters SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Leonardo and Donatello, PAW Patrol’s Marshall and Chase, and stars from Make It Pop.

The Slime Cup Games will play out on-air on the Nickelodeon channel in two competition-filled week-long specials:
* “The Slime Cup Totally Awesome Team Choosing Challenge” (airing week of 18 July)
Host Kel Mitchell introduces this year’s players and kicks off Slime Cup 2016 with a series of competitions which will ultimately place all 16 Nickelodeon stars on their respective Slime Cup teams. Each team will gain one player, each day, during this four-day, one-hour long special. Each day, the special will be accompanied by two Bella and The Bulldogs episodes, one of which will be a new episode premiere.
* “The Slime Cup Games” (airing week of 1 August)
During this week-long special, for two-hours a day, the four Slime Cup teams will compete each day in the slimiest and gooiest of challenges with the goal of accumulating the most Slime points to win the Slime Cup trophy. The challenges will be accompanied by competition-themed episodes of live action favourites Bella and The Bulldogs, Game Shakers, Henry Danger, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, & Dawn, and The Thundermans.
Also airing on TV is the “Orange Carpet Special Edition: Slime Cup” (airing week of 25 July) an 11-minute special in which Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn co-stars Casey Simpson (“Ricky Harper”) and Lizzy Greene (“Dawn Harper”) serve as the Orange Carpet Special Edition co-hosts, taking fans behind the scenes of the Nickelodeon Slime Cup. Lizzy and Casey will check out this year’s activities, meet the players and get their strategies to win, and even experience a bit of the slime action themselves!
Kids tuning in from more than 150 countries can root for their favourite team and join in the fun by watching the games beginning on 18th July on the Nickelodeon channel, and by participating online at slimecup.com and at the Singapore event. At slimecup.com, kids can be a part of the action with an all-new interactive digital “Slime Cup Games,” a collection of sports-themed mini games featuring Nickelodeon’s popular animated characters. Registration for the Nickelodeon Slime Cup Competition 2016 has begun and access to the online game opens on 5 July. Kids will also have access to additional games, quizzes, polls, photo flip books, player profiles and exclusive videos. Starting 18th July, kids will be able to create and download their very own customizable stat cards.
Gameplay via the “Slime Cup Games” interactive game earns kids Slime points. Slime points won in these activities are redeemable for digital in-game rewards at the Nickelodeon SlimeStand marketplace, a brand-new experience for kids that incentivizes play and active participation in the games. The regional runner-up winners will each earn a Slime Cup medal, and the grand prize winner in each region will earn both a Slime Cup medal and his or her very own Slime Cup trophy. The Slime Cup concludes in August, when one team of Nickelodeon stars will be crowned the Slime Cup champion. So slime on, Nickelodeon fans, and get in the game!
