New Jackson Convention & Visitors Bureau Contest Allows Participants to Rave about Their Fave

Jackson, Mississippi  – Wondering what to buy that special someone for Christmas this year? What about a dinner for four to your favorite restaurant? (Well, at least it was done in good faith!)

Write in 100 words or less about your favorite Jackson restaurant and submit it to the Jackson Convention & Visitors Bureau (JCVB), you could win dinner for four at your favorite restaurant. If the Bureau chooses your winning entry, you can earn a chance to win dinner for four at that restaurant.

The winning review of 100 words or less will be chosen by a committee of the Jackson Convention & Visitors Bureau (all committee decisions are final), based upon writing skill and compelling reasons to eat at the Jackson restaurant. Deadline for written submissions is December 31, 2010, with a winner being announced in January 2011.

The winning restaurant review will be featured on the JCVB website (www.visitjackson.com), the Bureau’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. All reviews, once submitted, are the property of the JCVB and may appear on its website (www.visitjackson.com), social media outlets such as Twitter or Facebook, or in any of its publications.

“The South is famous for its delicious cuisine – drawn from tables around the world and interpreted by culinary masters with a Southern flair, but few cities do it up like Jackson,” says Wanda Collier-Wilson, CEO and President of the JCVB. “We want to hear why people love eating at their favorite restaurant in Jackson, and what better way to find out what they have to say than offer a great incentive?”

So, how does it work? Email your review to info@visitjackson.com with the word “RAVE” in the subject line. Include your full name and email address. Entries can also be submitted through the Bureau’s website at www.visitjackson.com; just click on the “Want Free Food?” banner on the home page. The JCVB will notify the winner by email.
