The Coin Laundry Association announces the "Take a Load Off Video Contest,” offering contestants thousands of dollars in cash and free laundry service for capturing comical laundry dramas on film and sharing with friends on MySpace Videos."Let's face it, laundry takes time, it causes arguments and quite frankly, it stinks,” said Brian Wallace, President and CEO for the Coin Laundry Association. "From shrunken sweaters to lost socks, we've all got our share of laundry stories and we'd like to be doing less of it. The Take A Load Off Video Contest gives Americans the opportunity to take back some of their precious time by awarding three lucky winners with a drop off laundry service. Drop off laundry service is available at most coin-operated laundries. The service will wash, dry, fold and sometimes even deliver fresh, clean laundry right to your front door.”The contest's grand prize winner will also receive $1,000 cash.
The contest is open to all legal U.S. residents who are 18 years and older and there is no purchase necessary. To enter, contestants must film a video that highlights their laughable laundry misfortunes, upload the video to MySpace Videos and submit a message to the Coin Laundry Association with URL of video submission along with three to five sentences describing their laundry woes. To learn more visit www.takealoadoffcontest.com.Entries must be received by Sept. 30, 2007. The Coin Laundry Association will choose five videos based on relevance to the contest's theme, creative presentation, originality and aesthetic appeal to move on to the second round of judging. Five finalist videos will be posted on the Coin Laundry Association's MySpace page and the MySpace community will rate its top three favorites. MySpace member's choice voting will occur between October 15, 2007 and October 22, 2007. The three highest rated videos will be awarded first, second and third place prizes respectively. All winners will be notified on or around Oct. 26, 2007.
Complete contest rules and entry requirements are detailed at www.takealoadoffcontest.com.Procter & Gamble states that the average American woman spends seven to nine hours on laundry per week. The Coin Laundry Association estimates that the average retail self-service laundry customer spends only one-and-a-half to two hours a week on laundry – a time savings of five to seven hours. Drop off laundry cuts the weekly laundry chore down to five minutes. To find a local coin laundry, visit www.coinlaundry.org.
