What it's all about
What moves people? Pivotal moments do. It’s when they get married. Or find a job that’s not in their city. It’s when they learn they’re having a baby. Or when their kids leave home and their house feels empty and way too big.

The RE/MAX national advertising campaign focuses on these pivotal moments, and the contest gives consumers the opportunity to develop a more personal connection to the messages. Plus, it gives you a chance to connect with your contacts via social media over the next nine weeks to remind them (1) to enter, (2) to vote and (3) that you're ready to help if they have questions or want to make a move themselves.

Although RE/MAX Affiliates and their families are not eligible to submit stories or vote, you can share the entry stories, videos and photos on your own social media profiles using share icons on the contest website. Nine weeks of social media content are ready-made!

Contest details
The contest runs nine weeks, and consumers will be entered when they submit one or a combination of the following:


• Story (500 words maximum)
• Video (3 minutes or less; must provide a YouTube or other video-sharing link)
• Photo (JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF or TIFF not to exceed 10MB)

What moves them has to be compelling enough to move other consumers, too, because consumers vote! The ongoing voting will determine eight weekly winners (tallied Monday through Sunday) and ultimately the grand-prize winner -- named after the final grand-prize voting week, which ends Aug. 1, 2012.

The weekly prize is a $750 Apple gift card. Of course, the prize for the most moving entry is $10,000. That's some serious motivation! AND there's an added incentive to help kids. For each story submitted, RE/MAX LLC will donate $1 to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals -- up to $8,000.

Full contest rules and eligibility guidelines are available on the contest website. Look for additional details in the RE/MAX Weekly each Tuesday throughout the contest period. Have questions? Email whatmovesyou@remax.com.
