Quick post about upcoming events and contests in Southern California!
Pinkberry 100 Stores Contest
1st: Pinkberry is holding a new contest called “100 Stores, 100 Ways” to celebrate the opening of their 100th store:
“The contest encourages Pinkberry enthusiasts to explain in 100 words or less their favorite Pinkberry combinations, creative ways to eat Pinkberry, and how Pinkberry has played a part in their life. If so inspired, entrants may wish to write a story, ode, poem or song. Optional Flickr photos and YouTube videos can accompany the submission.”
The prize?
“The grand prize winner will receive a $1,000 Pinkberry VIPink Card and 10 first-place winners will each get $50 Pinkberry gift cards.”
That is seriously a lot of Pinkberry to win. If you’re a Pinkberry fangirl or fanboy, check out their website for contest rules and to enter. Good luck, folks!
