You’ve seen the singing shows, the dance contests, and
the modeling competitions …. But Taste of Home, part of the Reader’s Digest
family of magazines, is serving up something totally fresh-- and it’s an
opportunity for the stars we have in our own homes to shine.
The craftiest, most creative and culinary-savvy woman
in America will get her due when Taste of Home crowns its first-ever
Mrs. Holiday as the brand’s holiday spokesperson. TOH will be going where
no publishing company has gone before in this search for the best holiday cook
in America--- and the winner, appearing as the magazine’s spokesperson, will
win $50,000.
TOH’s search for Mrs. Holiday isn’t just another
talent competition—it’s a new kind of pageant that showcases the women who make
the holidays spectacular for all of us. If you think you have what it takes to be the next Mrs. Holiday, then enter the
competition today!
MOVE OVER MISS AMERICA,
THERE’S A NEW CROWN IN TOWN AND HER NAME IS MRS.
HOLIDAY
Taste
of Home Conducts Nationwide Search for
Ambassador
of the Holidays
Spokesperson
to Receive Role With Company and $50,000
As we sit here wedged
between Father’s Day and the Fourth of July, it’s pretty clear that America
loves the holidays. According to independent market research, more than
$80 billion is spent annually on food during holidays. That represents
about 15% of total supermarket food sales in the U.S.*
There are more than
65 million fans of Taste of Home magazine, its iPad edition, website, books,
and special interest publications. They count on Taste of Home to be
their go-to resource for the holidays. For example, website traffic at TasteofHome.com increases
by 25%-40% before every holiday. Geared up with recipes and ideas, these
women head right to retail to start their holiday food shopping.
Recognizing the
enormity of the holidays to peoples’ personal lives and the U.S. economy, Taste
of Home has begun a nationwide search on Facebook.com/TasteofHome to
identify candidates for the position of Mrs. Holiday, a spokesperson role at
the company, which includes a $50,000 payment. “Mrs. Holiday will be a new type
of pageant queen,” said Taste of Home editor-in-chief Catherine Cassidy.
“She’s an advocate, an ambassador and an inspiration who cooks for her family
to bring everyone around the table at the holidays. She’s got memorable
recipes combined with a celebration attitude.”
To audition for the
role of Mrs. Holiday, women age 18 or older must visit Facebook.com/Taste of
Home to enter a virtual pageant. There they can submit a video entry of
no more than two minutes to show/tell us how they bring the holidays to life
and convince us why they should be Taste of Home's Mrs. Holiday. They
also should submit a signature holiday recipe in 200 words or less. The full
entry rules and instructions are provided at Facebook.com/TasteofHome.
All entries will receive a free chocolate chip cookie recipe as a thank you for
auditioning.
Unlike the Miss
America pageant, consumers will have a hand in picking Mrs. Holiday by voting
for their favorite entrant a tFacebook.com/TasteofHome starting on June 4 and ending
on September 7. Mrs. Holiday will be selected from among the top 100 vote
getters by a panel of experts.
Once officially
crowned, Mrs. Holiday will be available to conduct interviews, cooking segments,
and blogging, as well as to make appearances across the country at retailers
and some of the more than 300 Taste of Home cooking schools.
