SWEEPSTAKES & GIVEAWAYS

• For decades, “Calgon, Take Me Away!” has been such a common catchphrase for stressful and embarrassing moments. Whether you are having a bad hair day, experiencing an embarrassing fashion mishap or managing the stresses of work and motherhood, Calgon wants you to capture these moments on video and submit them for a chance to truly be “taken away.”
   
  The videos – which will be judged on originality, creativity in interpreting the theme and entertainment value – should clearly demonstrate why the contest entrant deserves to be “taken away.” The grand prize will meet the personal needs of the winner, ranging from a spa trip for a stressed out mom to a personal shopper for the fashionably challenged and will be announced in January 2011.
   
  Consumers can enter the Take Me Away! Moments Contest by visiting www.TakeMeAway.com/Contest,where selected videos will be featured throughout the entry period.
• The “America’s School Spirit Challenge” contest is a way for communities to rally together in these difficult economic times and help their schools. Whether it’s rebuilding libraries, buying up-to-date computers, or taking educational field trips, the winning schools determine how the money can best help them.
   
  This is an online contest with a simple vote form and easy tools so that people can spread the word to family, friends, and community. Our Coming Soon page will be up next week. Here is the link: http://www.care2.com/schoolcontest. Voting runs from September 20th through November 12th, 2010.
