Former Lincoln youth is finalist in online contest

A youth with ties to Lincoln is hoping to win a full-size classic arcade game. And he sure could use the assistance of area residents to do it. Andrew Gray, son of Chris and Joy Gray of Washington, was chosen to participate in an online contest for the new Pac-Man Party video game by Namco Bandai Games.

Andrew was one of 16 participants who received a copy of the video game, as well as plush Pac-Man hats, plush ghost dolls, buttons and various coupons. In return, Andrew had to record a video of a Pac-Man-themed party and submit it online to the company.

Representatives of the company selected four videos as finalists and placed them online for a vote. The creator of the video that receives the most votes by the Jan. 10 deadline wins the grand prize of a Namco Pac-Man arcade machine.
