Sweepstakes

• Nancy O’Dell is going to London to cover the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton for Entertainment Tonight – and you could be there with her. “My friends at Creative Memories have put together the most exciting contest: the Happily Ever After Photo Contest, Nancy said. “All you have to do is share a photo of something that makes you happy, and you could win a trip to London during the royal wedding!”
   
  The Grand Prize Winner will spend four days and three nights in London, amidst all of the excitement. Winners will hear the chimes of Big Ben, stroll by Buckingham Palace, celebrate with the locals in Picadilly Circus and join Nancy for a spot of tea and girl talk about all the wedding fun.
   
  The contest runs from April 1 to April 15. To enter, go online and “like” the Creative Memories Home Office Facebook Page, click on Photo Contest and upload an image that makes you smile.
   
  The 100 photos that receive the most votes will be evaluated by Nancy and a panel of judges. The Grand Prize Winner will be selected based on creativity, personality and originality. Fifteen runners up will win a prize pack from the Nancy O’Dell Collection by Creative Memories.
   
  “We’ll be calling the grand prize winner on Monday, April 18,” Nancy said. “I’m so excited about this contest and this once-in-a-lifetime Happily Ever After opportunity,” she added.
