Enter the National Gift-Wrapping Contest for the Chance to Win $10,000
ST. PAUL, Minn., July 30, 2009 — Maybe your desire for crisp, straight edges and passion for perfect, sumptuous bows has you pegged as the “go-to gift wrapper.” Or perhaps your love for creative, out-of-the-box wraps has family and friends in awe over your wrapping talents. If your wraps truly are “gifted,” then it’s time you entered the 13th annual Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper Contest, sponsored by 3M.
On Friday, December 4, 2009, eight gift-wrappers — four amateurs and four professionals — will leave no bow untied as they compete for a $10,000 cash prize, and the title of the “Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper” for 2009. Held at NYC’s quintessential holiday locale, Rockefeller Center, the eight contestants will show off their creativity, technique and style as they go bow to bow in this gift-wrapping competition.
To enter, describe in 100 words or less why you or someone you know has what it takes — whether it’s a vast amount of gift-wrapping experience or endless creativity – to be crowned the “Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper” for 2009. The person who nominates the grand-prize winner will also receive $1,000 for his/her winning recommendation. Be sure to also include the following:
