Winning At Sweepstakes

In a little bit of a departure from what I normally post here, I found this contest today.  It’s not really a sweepstakes, but it seems like it might be fun to enter, especially if you have kids to help.

Clover Stornetta farms is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their billboard contest.  To enter head over to http://www.cloverstornetta.com/Billboard_Contest_09-2.asp and fill out the brief bit of info, and then describe your idea for their next billboard!

If you have the winning idea, then you could win:

Grand Prize: $5,000, your idea in the Wholly Cow II Billboard Book and 5 copies of Wholly Cow II
2nd Place: $2,500 and 5 copies of the Wholly Cow II Billboard Book
