A.C. Moore’s Crystal Coast Wedding Contest celebrates brides

AC-Moore-Coastal-WeddingJune is known as the “dads, grads, and brides” month. So I wrote a post last week on a Father’s Day promotion, and the week before about a Twitter promotion for grads, so this week’s post is focused on brides. We’ve working on this promotion for A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts which just launched offering a chance to win a wedding through their Craft Me a Crystal Coast Wedding Contest.

AC-Moore-logoThe grand prize wedding consists of a trip for the bride and groom to the Crystal Coast, North Carolina, to get married on October 22, 2016. They will receive round-trip airfare, accommodations for 3 nights in a water-front mansion, a wedding ceremony and a reception accommodating up to 100 guests which will be crafted by celebrity wedding planner David Tutera along with a wedding gown and tuxedo from Mon Cheri Bridals. The total value of this wedding prize is $28,300.

AC-Moore-craftsParticipants are invited to enter by creating a short video (up to 1 minute) that expresses their love story and why they deserve to have A.C. Moore craft their free, dream wedding at Crystal Coast. They can submit their video from now till August 6 by either posting it to their Instagram account or posting a link to their video on Twitter and use the promotional hashtag #WeddingCrafters. They can also enter on Facebook by visiting the A.C. Moore Facebook page , clicking on the link to the contest page and filling out an entry form that includes a link to their video. The Facebook contest page also includes a gallery where the videos submitted on Facebook will be displayed.

A panel of judges will review all the video submissions and choose a winner based on the following criteria: Originality of the Video 34%, Creativity 33% and Effort 33%. The winner will be contacted on August 9.

So anyone that is available to get married on October 22, get your video submission in soon.

Doritos Crash the Super Bowl Video Contest Final Edition

Playoffs-NFL-LogoWe had a bit of NFL history in last weekend’s wild-card round. For the first time all four road teams won in the same playoff weekend. All those hometown fans in  Washington D.C., Minneapolis, Cincinnati and Houston were disappointed to see their team’s season end. The fans of the Cincinnati Bengals and the  Minnesota Vikings thought they had the game in the bag, but fans of both teams had a heartbreaking loss and Vikings fans sat through a bitter cold, minus degrees, game.Playoff-Round-Jan16

So this weekend the Road to Super Bowl 50 continues with 8 teams moving on. Saturday we have the Chiefs at the Patriots first and then the Packers at the Cardinals. On Sunday we get to watch the Seahawks at the Panthers and then the Steelers at the Broncos. So I highly doubt we’ll see a repeat of all road teams winning in the same weekend.

Doritos-Contest-2016PepsiCo, the parent company of Doritos, is back again for their Annual Crash the Super Bowl Video Contest which is their 10th season. They announced that this will be the last edition of the contest and now my last time writing about it on this blog which I’ve done since 2008.

This year just three finalists videos were chosen which are now posted on the contest website.  The public is invited to vote once per day, per device up till Jan. 28.

Doritos-Vote-2016This year’s contestants have the chance to win $1 million and the opportunity to work with Zack Snyder, director of 300 and Man of Steel, whose latest film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, will be released next March. The winner will work with Snyder as well as Warner Brothers and DC Comics on an undisclosed future project.

“We’re giving consumers one last shot to make their mark and see their homemade ads air during the Super Bowl broadcast,” Jeff Klein, vice president of marketing at Frito-Lay, said in a statement. “This is truly last call for all of those who not only want a shot at $1 million—but want a chance to jump-start their career in Hollywood.” The winning ad will air during CBS’ Super Bowl 50 telecast on Feb. 7. One Grand Prize winner and the two First Prize winners will all receive a trip to attend Super Bowl 50 and view the game from the Doritos suite.

May the best ad win. I’m always a sucker for any video with dogs. Here on the contest website you can view all the fan ads that have won and aired during the Super Bowl.
