DebitFacts.org, the only online educational resource focused
exclusively on debit, kicks off the “Are You Debit Smart?” video
contest today, inviting consumers across the U.S. to share success
stories related to using a debit card as their preferred form of
payment. By simply submitting a short video, consumers could win up
to $5,000 on a prepaid Discover Card, as well as a money-management
session with a financial counselor.
Designed to promote the many benefits of using debit, the
contest encourages consumers to highlight why they use their debit
card, what they buy with debit, when they use it and much more.
“The ‘Are You Debit Smart?’ video contest launches at a time
when debit cards account for the greatest share of purchases made
in retail stores,” said Steve Sievert, senior vice president,
communications and marketing, with PULSE, a leading debit/ATM
network and sponsor of DebitFacts.org. “The contest gives consumers
the chance to share their personal stories about how debit cards
have changed and enhanced their financial management skills, and
even transformed their purchasing behaviors.”
Beginning today and continuing through July 4, 2010,
DebitFacts.org will accept video submissions. Entries will be
judged by a panel of experts from the financial and creative
fields. A grand prize of $5,000, second-place prize of $2,500 and
third-place prize of $1,000 will be awarded via prepaid Discover
Cards. In addition to the prepaid card, each of the top three prize
winners will receive personal consultation time with Judy Lawrence,
financial counselor and coach, author of “The Budget Kit” and
founder of www.moneytracker.com.
One $500 prize will be awarded weekly during the contest period
to the person who has the cleverest Tweet about the video(s)
entered into the contest. Entrants are permitted to Tweet about
their own videos as well. Weeks will be defined as starting at
12:00 a.m. CDT on Mondays and ending at 11:59:59 p.m. CDT on
Sundays, with the exception of the last week, which ends at
11:59:59 p.m. CDT on Sunday, July 4. Entrants are encouraged to
follow DebitFacts.org on Twitter for contest updates.
