KFC Holiday Photo/Video Contest

A tremendous number of promotions at this time of year try to tie in the holiday season. Doing so is a great way to attract people to promotions because it helps get them in the holiday spirit.  I recently came across another article discussing a holiday promotion sponsored by KFC.  Not my favorite choice of a meal, but many Americans love that greasy fried chicken!
KFC is asking consumers to send in their most "eye-catching" photos and videos of holiday decorations.  The contest is called "Festive Fanatics" and runs through December 14th.  Entries will be judged based on creativity, use of props and lights, and appropriateness to KFC's image. You can fill out a registration form at KFC.com and then upload videos to youtube.com.  Start taking pictures and videos and enter the contest!  I think I would have a shot - my family puts up tons of decorations for the holiday season - maybe I'll enter!

 only can you enter the contest, you can vote on your favorite video or image from 12 finalists starting December 20th.  The grand prize winner receives free KFC food for a year (I would probably give that prize away haha) and payment of their December electricity and credit card bills - I'll take it!  KFC's Web site's home page is decked out with a holiday theme. Visit the site, it is very interactive!

I think this promotion will be very successful in gaining a large number of entries and many people are very into the holiday season.  Also its hard to believe but holiday decorations are something people can get competitive about - who has the best Christmas lights on their house or the most perfect Christmas tree on the block??  I would be very interested to see who wins this contest!
