"Growing lemons for over 100 years, Sunkist has heard a lot of fresh lemon tips," said Gina Widjaja, Advertising & PR Manager, Sunkist Growers. "However, we're continually impressed by new ideas on how to squeeze the most out of a fresh lemon. This contest puts a fun spotlight on why fresh lemons are so much more than garnish."
Consumers can enter by posting a one to two minute video featuring their unique Sunkist® lemon tips. These lemon "aids" can be tasty, practical, fun, or all three - the more creative and entertaining, the better! Final judging will be determined based on entertainment value, originality and production quality. One grand prize winner will receive $5,000 in cash with five runners-up receiving $1,000 in cash. The first 50 entries will also receive a free Sunkist Lemon Kit.
