Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this exciting contest! Whether you submitted an entry or simply commented on the submissions to help refine them, you've all made this a wonderful contest! Thank you also for your patience while judging was taking place! As I'm sure you can understand, it is very difficult to not only coordinate schedules when havng multiple people judge a contest but also to pick the top 3 entries when there are so many great ones submitted!

The object was to come up with a unique marketing idea - something out of the box. Our winners did just that! So, without further ado...

    Audrey - That's what I loved about setting up this contest.  So many people were willing to share such outstanding ideas that everyone can benefit from.  If nothing else, it definitely gets you thinking about how you can modify some of the ideas to use yourself!

    Cheryl W. - Yes - Congratulations!!  It pays!  But you don't get 200 points.  You get 2,000!
