$15000 Giveaway from French Toast

I realize it's only the beginning of July, but I've already been looking at Halloween costumes online, started my Christmas shopping, & have started buying fall/winter clothes for my daughter. Yes, I'm just that way! Seriously though, retailers are rolling out back to school clothing, & while that may seem crazy, many schools head back at the end of August. So, it's time to discuss back to school clothing.

In addition to private & charter schools, 1 in 5 public schools now have a dress code. If yours does & they wear French Toast uniforms, listen up!

French Toast is running a contest called “Show Us the Real “U” in Uniform.” They are asking kids to either send photos or a video with a short essay (300 words maximum) about what makes them unique & proud of themselves when wearing their uniform. I love this because it fosters a spirit of self acceptance, which is so crucial for school age children. The winner of this contest will receive $10,000 & $5,000 in vouchers from French Toast to the school that the winner attends. Yeah...you read that right!

Ten finalists will be chosen around the first part of November & the winner will be announced on or around November 30, 2010. You have until September 15, 2010 to enter. Click here for all the information & to enter.
