French’s recently held a popular national campaign entitled, ‘Food Loves French’s®.’ The company asked for people to submit their favorite ‘Food Loves French’s’ Love Stories.
The Judges Have Spoken
Jennifer Osborne, Senior Brand Manager, French’s, announced the winners in the ‘Food Loves French’s Love Story’ contest where contestants were asked to describe in 200 words or less a love story depicting food’s love affair with French’s Mustard. In September, ten semi-finalists were selected and their entries posted to the French’s website. The public cast their votes online and selected one People’s Choice winner, Nancy Kevorkian of Florida. She will receive a $2,000 American Express Gift Check.
The French’s panel of judges also announced the Grand Prize winner, John Christensen of Washington State, who receives a $2,000 American Express Gift Check and the opportunity to have his entry animated and posted online. Eight semi-finalists will also receive $500 in American Express Gift Checks.
Using the latest computer generated illustration technology, Christensen’s original story will be converted to a webisode. His story highlights French’s love affair with the all-American hot dog and takes place in a stadium full of mustard fans. The love story features French’s as a Cassanova-type who appears on a TV talk show only to be confronted by all of his paramours at once. They include a hot dog, pretzel, hamburger, corned beef sandwich and fish fillet.
