Discover will sponsor its second annual Day With the Cup which gives someone a chance to have a day with the NHL’s Stanley Cup.
From March 22 through April 12, 2012, hockey fans can submit an original photo that best demonstrates their passion for hockey, along with a 1000 character or less description that answers the question, “I deserve a day with the Stanley Cup because…” Entries can be submitted to Discover’s Facebook fan page by visiting www.discover.com/StanleyCup and following the instructions.
After April 12, three final entries will be chosen and posted to Facebook where the public will have five days to vote for their favorite entry. The contestant with the most votes by 11:59 p.m. ET on April 21, 2012 will be deemed the official Day With the Cup Winner, and will be awarded the ultimate hockey package, which includes spending a day with the Stanley Cup, celebrating with family and friends, having the experience documented and featured during game one of the Stanley Cup Final, as well as round trip airline fare, hotel and tickets to one of the games of the Stanley Cup Final.
“Expanding upon last year’s contest, we set out this year to further leverage our relationship with the NHL to make it even bigger and better, something unlike any other fan experience out there,” said Jennifer Murillo, vice president of brand communications at Discover. “We’re expecting to see some pretty phenomenal photos and essays that showcase how truly passionate hockey fans are.”
Day With the Cup is open to all legal residents of the 50 United States who are at least 18 years old. Legal guardians of children under the age of 18 are eligible to enter on behalf of their children. All eligible entries will be judged by representatives of the Sponsor and an independent judge to determine three Finalists based on the following criteria: originality and creativity of essay, enthusiasm as demonstrated in essay, appropriateness of photo to theme and sincerity of essay.
Discover is the Official Card of the NHL®, NHL Winter Classic, NHL Awards and the NHL Draft.
