This post was sponsored by Folgers as part of an Influencer Activation for Influencer Central. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsement and testimonials in advertising. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. If I say “the best part of waking up” what do you think of? You’re singing it, aren’t you? I remember the commercial where a little boy put toy soldiers in his parent’s coffee mug because he thought the rest was “soldiers in your cup” haha. As a mom, coffee is life so I’m excited to share the Folgers jingle contest with you!
Folgers and country singer/songwriter Chris Young want aspiring musicians to create their own version of the Best Part of Wakin’ Up Jingle, and you could win up to $25,000 if you do! Do you like to sing or create music? Do you know someone who does? This is for you.
Now through February 27th, you can submit your Jingle that includes the melody & lyrics “The Best Part of Wakin’ Up is Folgers in Your Cup.” Your 60-90 second original performance can include up to 4 individuals (age 18+) singing or playing music. Upload it, complete the entry form and you’re in the running.
5 semi-finalists will be chosen February 27th through March 19th and will have a mentoring session with Grammy-nominated country music artist Chris Young. A panel of judges will choose the semi-finalists based on creativity/originality, musical performance, and the overall message (inspirational, optimistic, enthusiastic and passionate). The semi-finalists will be notified by email and overnight mail.
March 27th through April 24th, fans will vote for their favorite jingle, and every vote enters you to win prizes worth up to $10,000. The grand prize winner will be selected in May and wins $25,000. In addition, two first place winners will receive $2,500 and two second place winners will receive $500.
I am most definitely not a musician but you better believe I’ll be voting daily and hoping to win some prizes.
