SWEEPSTAKES & GIVEAWAYS
- To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dr. Seuss’s classic Green Eggs and Ham Random House Children’s Books and Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. have launched the “HAM It Up” video contest, calling for fans across the United States to channel their own Sam-I-Am and submit a video capturing their interpretation of a scene from the book. The grand prize winner will receive a $2,000 cash prize, a year’s supply of Ham I Am! products, a beautifully framed 50th Anniversary Green Eggs and Ham print, a flip camera and a Dr. Seuss library of books. Originally published in 1960, Green Eggs and Ham has sold over 13 million copies in North America.
The “HAM It Up” video contest kicks-off on September 21 and will end on November 3, 2010. Details on how to enter and official contest rules are available on Seussville at http://GreenEggsContest.seussville.com. - Did you hear about the new IKEA campaign, The Life Improvement Project?
In conjunction with the campaign, IKEA is offering one person the chance to win a year-long sabbatical (worth $100,000) to advance a project that improves the lives of others. Whether you’d like to volunteer at a homeless shelter to start a non-profit organization, this contest gives one winner the opportunity to pursue their passions, and share their experience with the world.
From September 14 – November 8, 2010, those that are interested can submit their proposal online at www.thelifeimprovementproject.com. (NOTE: The winning project must be in the U.S.)
