The ATB Ugly Sweater Contest and Some Charity Talk
By baggedmilk
8 years agoThis is not a hockey related article. Be aware of that fact before you start in on the comments that this has nothing to do with complaining about Justin Schultz. What you will find, instead, is a contest for your Instagram machine and a charity drive for the Edmonton Food Bank.
First, let’s start off with the contest… Watch the video above (SQUEEEEEE accordingly) and note the sweater so rudely given to our beloved Jordan from a scoundrel called Gio from down south. Do you own such a sweater? Do you also carry a phone that features a camera? If yes, you have all the makings of an entry into ATB’s ugly Christmas sweater contest!
To enter the contest all you have to do is throw on your favourite Christmas sweater, take a selfie, fire that bad oscar off into the Internet world (Twitter and/or Instagram), and tag it with the #EbsUglySweater hashtag. Seems simple right? Let’s check the rules to make sure that it really is that simple.
THE RULES
- Put on your favourite Christmas sweater.
- Beautify yourself and appropriately apply your best “duck face.” (optional)
- Tag the picture with the hashtag #EbsUglySweater
- The contest is already up and running (entries accepted from December 21st until January 4th) so you can get started at any time.
- There is no limit on the number of entries. The more you send, the better chance you’ll have of Ebersquee seeing you (seriously).
- The winner will be selected on January 4th by Jordan Eberle himself.
- The prize? A set of NHL game tickets and a new jersey (signed by the players).
This really could be one of the easiest contests in the history of the world. On top of a slick prize, there’s also a very real chance that Jordan Eberle will actually be looking at a picture of you, so you might want to use that as motivation for being creative.
RETWEETS FOR THE EDMONTON FOOD BANK
The concept of this charity drive is simple. We want to raise as much money for the Edmonton Food Bank as humanly possible. We want to see this tweet blow up and plaster the Internet as though it was some kind of Kardashian news. Why?
Our friends at Cornerstone Insurance will be donating 25 cents for every retweet the above tweet gets from now until tonight at 11:59pm. The goal of the campaign is to raise as much money as we possibly can for the Edmonton Food Bank and we could use your help.
If you have a Twitter account jump on it and give the aforementioned tweet an RT and help us raise money for a great cause. Even if you’ve already retweeted us you can still help by sharing this article and helping us spread the word.
