NCGA Hosts 2nd My Co-op Rocks Contest

IOWA CITY, IOWA (July 1, 2010) – Ready for your co-op close-up? This September, individuals over the age of 18 are invited to submit short, up-to-2-minute videos in the My Co-op Rocks Video Contest, a nationwide contest in which food co-op fans share all the reasons their co-op rocks. Submissions will be accepted online beginning Sept. 1 at www.MyCoopRocks.coop with $3,000 in prizes – including two new Apple iPads – to be awarded to the best videos in “People’s Choice” and “Judges’ Choice” categories.

Now in its second year, My Co-op Rocks Video Contest asks co-op members, shoppers and staff across the country to share their favorite co-op moments, memories and stories online. The contest is hosted by National Cooperative Grocers Association (NCGA) and sponsored by Equal Exchange and Frontier Natural Products Co-op in celebration of all the qualities and quirks that make co-ops integral parts of communities. Last year’s submissions and contest details can be found at www.MyCoopRocks.coop
