CONTESTS & SWEEPSTAKES

• Through Dairy Queen’s latest online ice cream promotion, Operation Happy Birthday, anyone 18 years or older with a
  camera, camcorder or mobile device is invited to record and submit a video clip that’s no longer than one minute with an original, creative or funny version of an individual alone, with family, friends or a pet singing, rapping, rhyming, dancing or playing an instrument to the tune of happy birthday to the Blizzard. No purchase is necessary.

  Participants who submit a video judged to be in the top 100 will receive a $25 Dairy Queen gift card and the video will be posted on the Dairy Queen blog and the Blizzard and Dairy Queen Facebook page. One video also will be selected for a coveted spot on the DairyQueen.com homepage.

  Videos will be judged on creativity, originality, adherence to theme and the 60 second time limit, and the amount of page views generated after the video is posted to YouTube.com. An entry form, rules and regulations are available at
