Count on 2 (Charleston, SC) helps Ashley Furniture Home Store find their next spokesperson with this super fun, creative video contest.

One grand prize winner is the spokesperson for 1 year, and the best part – drumroll, please – a $10,000 shopping spree to Ashley Furniture!
What a unique home makeover contest from Herald and News (Klamath Falls, OR). In a multi-sponsored contest (grand total = 19), the paper offers readers a chance to spruce up their home with a new and improved door. The scrolling sponsor list is marvelous – what a genius way to include all participating sponsors’ logos.
