WINNER! Sam’s Club Grim Grill Contest

If you haven’t heard, Sam’s Club Springtime Fun was to  have a contest where you could submit the pictures and stories of your “Grim Grill.”  By getting creative and showing off your sad, sad grills, you could be entered to win a Member’s Mark Grill valued at $1299.00!  In addition to the state of the art grilling set up, the winner gets a $100 Sam’s Club gift card to purchase goodies to cook up on this grill.

The COOLEST part of this contests for me, what that I got to help judge for the winners.  It was awesome!  And now today, I have the winner and runner up information announcement for you!

You can check back here to see all 10 grim grill finalists.

Here is how they were judged:

  1. How well entry conveys the subject & why the entrant is deserving of a new grill.
  2. Quality of image and text description.
  3. Originality.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Sam’s Club will be notifying the winners.

Congratulations to the winners!

I have to say how much I loved being part of this promotion.  It was truly cool to be one of the deciding votes in a large giveaway like this!  I hope I get to participate in more like this in the future.

Grim Grill Finalists Announced! Are You One of Them?

Sam’s Club executives have chosen the 10 finalists in their Grim Grill contest.  Did you enter?  Could you be a finalist?  It’s quite possible because there were a shockingly low number of entries.  I guess nobody needed a $1300 Grill.

If you  don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, visit the Sam’s Club Spring website for all the details on the contest as well as other Spring themed fun.

I get the pleasure of telling you who the 10 finalists are and then I (along with the other Sam’s Club Community Bloggers) get to chose the winner.  How much fun is that?  I’ve never been a part of awarding a $1300 prize before, it’s very cool.  The final entries just made me laugh and I already have a favorite…but you don’t get to find out who it is until the 20th.

Here are the finalists’ pleas.  Click on the images to make them bigger and you can read their stories.  They are quite amusing!

Do you have a favorite??
