How a treasured Cadbury memory could win you £1,000 as Birmingham chocolate maker celebrates 200 years

Cadbury is celebrating its 200th anniversary by inviting chocolate fans to share their treasured memories of the brand - with a chance of winning £1,000.

It’s just one of a host of activities the world famous confectionery giant is launching to mark its anniversary year after it was founded in Birmingham with its factory in Bournville.

Chocolate bosses are asking Brummies, and fans across the country, to submit their old Cadbury photos - like the one in this story - which can be featured in their ‘Your for 200 years’ advertising campaign.  Any photos from before the year 2000 with an identifiable Cadbury product in the shot, will be eligible to win a prize of £1,000.  

Cadbury was founded back in 1824 by businessman John Cadbury on Bull Street in the city centre and has since grown to become a firm favourite.  From pioneering the popularity of the Easter Egg in 1875, through to launching Cadbury Dairy Milk in 1905, Cadbury has long been a part of Britain’s rich cultural history and is a taste we’ve all known and loved for generations.  

With ‘Your Cadbury Memories’, Cadbury is hoping to help the nation unlock happy memories of special occasions like birthdays and seasonal moments such as Christmases and Easters, from years gone by. 

As the chocolate-maker enters its third century, it’s keen to involve the whole of the UK in its birthday celebrations.  Commenting on the launch, Bryony Tate, brand manager at Mondelēz International, says: “Cadbury has long been intertwined with big celebrations in our lives. Most of us have eagerly unwrapped a Cadbury Selection Box on Christmas Day or treasured an Easter Egg found tucked away somewhere.

"As we mark our 200th birthday, we want to encourage Brits to shine a light on their happy memories, as we look forward to sparking joy through these occasions for the next 200 years.”

The campaign marks the start of a year-long celebration for Cadbury, with many more exciting announcements to come, including opportunities  for fans nationwide to get involved in the celebrations.   For more information, visit: the Cadbury website  To submit a Cadbury memory visit: Cadbury photo memories competition For full T&Cs, visit T&Cs for Cadbury photo memories competition.
