M&M's Valentine's Day Contest
Most would argue that red is the color of love and therefore the color for Valentine's Day, but the M&M's chocolate company begs to differ. While to most green is the color of envy, it is Ms. Green who will have you seeing some green ($1500 to be exact) -- as well as experiencing two nights in quintessentially romantic Paris. The only thing you have to do is visit the contest website and write a 150-word essay explaining why you and your sweetie need Ms. Green's help to heat up your romance this Valentine's Day. (No purchase necessary!). The sight adds, "Brevity is the soul of wit, darling," so I'm guessing my essay, which went something like, "I would really like a holiday" is neither witty nor the kind of brevity they're looking for.
According to the always long-winded contest rules, you must be 21 years or older to enter and live within the 50 United States. The top five essays will be selected based on the following criteria: Relevance, Creativity, and Style and Panache (???), and then judged one more time by a separate panel to select the winner. The prize includes two roundtrip ticket to Paris, a two-night stay in the city, and $1500 to spend on romantic dining and activities.
Seems rather straightforward, my friends. You must submit your essay by February 12, so think green (or red) and get to it!
