Announcing my "Share Hope" Contest

A Piece from my Fall Collection could be named in honor of your loved one's story!

We just launched “Share Hope”; a contest that encourages cancer patients, cancer survivors, or friends and family, to share personal cancer stories and words of hope by submitting audio, video, or an essay at HopesSong.org. The grand prize winner will have a piece of apparel in my Fall line named after him/her, or their loved one, and feature that individual’s words of hope on the hang tag.

To enter you must create a user name and register as a member at HopesSong.org. You may upload video/audio entries, blog or post essays on the message board. All entries must be received by June 11, 2010 and include a photo of the person you wish to be honored.

Voting for finalists will begin on June 14th and participants will receive an email with information on the voting process and how your friends and family can vote for your entry. Three finalists will be announced on July 1st and they will be featured on the HopesSong.org homepage. Each finalist will receive a gift certificate to be used at www.HopesSong.com. The grand prize winner will be selected by a panel of judges and have a piece of apparel named after them or their loved one, which will be announced at the launch of my Fall line.

Every piece that I design for the Hopes Song clothing line has a cancer story behind it. So I hope the ‘Share Hope’ contest will encourage people to tell their stories, because people find strength in others’ stories and it will all result in one person being honored by having a beautiful piece of clothing named for him/her, or their loved one.
