A Sunny Smile

We all remember that first time. The day we thought we were the cleverest kid on the block and the first one to put an orange peel on the front of our mouths and smile that big orange citrusy smile. “Look Mom!” (Sounds like “mmmmm, mmmmm”.)

Well, the cool kids around the world are still doing it and Sunkist is calling on all Canadians to share their sunny smiles as part of an international photo competition that will benefit the Special Olympics. To commemorate “100 Years of Sunkist”, Canadians are encouraged to break out their cameras and start slicing oranges, stick them in their mouths and take a shot for the biggest citrus-themed event of its kind.

Citrus lovers from nine countries—including Canada, the United States, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan—are being invited to submit original photos of themselves with a creative “Sunkist Smile” (read: orange wedge in the mouth). Each time an eligible submission is received, Sunkist will make a donation of 100 cents to the Special Olympics, up to $50,000.

The contest only lasts until May 15, 2008, so you’ll want to act quickly! Let’s make Canada a global leader in citrus smiles—submit a photograph and brief caption to www.sunkist.com now.

And it’s not just the Special Olympics athletes who are the winners here. Each sensational smiling photo will be judged on Creativity (40%), Fun Factor (30%) and Quality of Image (30%). One grand prize winner from Canada will be awarded a trip to sunny California valued at $5,000 CDN plus bragging rights of having their winning “smile” flashed at the world-famous Times Square in New York City.

So go on and slice that citrus, smile and click. You will be entered to win a trip, you’ve enjoyed a delicious fruit packed with vitamin C and you’ve helped the athletes of the Special Olympics.

Now that’s a win-win-win result that any athlete would be pleased with.
