GUND, known for its top quality, soft and huggable plush designs and
gift products, is celebrating man’s best friend with its first-ever Top
Dog Contest, launching today.
Inspired by consumer demand for
GUND’s version of Boo, The World’s Cutest Dog™ and real Pomeranian with
millions of fans, the company is inviting pup parents from around the
country to submit photos of their favorite four-footed friend, in one of
the following four categories:
· Most Beautiful Dog
· Ugliest Dog
· “Doganista”/Best Dressed Dog
· Dog that Most Resembles its Owner
"We know that people love their dogs; that’s one reason why GUND dogs are so popular," said Bruce Raiffe, GUND’s president. “GUND is celebrating man’s best friend by offering families an opportunity to show off their favorite pet and win something very special in return.”
The Grand Prize: GUND will create a limited edition model of the winner’s dog. The dog will be available in gift and toy stores in 2013.
Consumers across the U.S. may submit their photos via a contest tab on GUND’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/GottaGettaGUND). A winner in each of the four categories will be selected based on the number of votes for the photos on that page. Category winners will each receive a selection of GUND products of their choice, valued at $250 retail. The “Top Dog” Grand Prize winner will be selected by a panel of judges from the four category winners.
Simultaneous with the Top Dog Contest on Facebook, GUND will run the Most Pinteresting Dog Contest on Pinterest. Consumers will be asked to post their entry on their own pages, “tag” it @GUNDMostPinterestingDog and submit the link to GUND at [email protected], where GUND will add the entry to their Most Pinteresting Dog Contest board for people to “like.” The Most Pinteresting Dog Contest winner will be selected based on the number of times the entry is liked on the GUND Pinterest board. The Most Pinteresting Dog winner will also receive a selection of GUND products of their choice, valued at $250 retail.
