Sunkist Growers Asks America To “Share Your Twist” On Fresh Lemons

Sherman Oaks, CA – Sunkist Growers invites America to join them in celebrating the multiple uses of fresh lemons through an online video contest. Any way you use it, lemons are the most versatile of citrus fruits offering flavorful, nutritional, beauty as well as everyday household benefits. Lemons are a natural, salt-free enhancer of flavor, excellent for a DIY refreshing face scrub and decorative, even perfect for bringing back the shine in copper pots. Between August 1 and August 31, fans are invited to share their fresh ideas at www.sunkist.com/LemonContest for a chance to win cash prizes, free coupons and more.

“Growing lemons for over 100 years Sunkist has heard a lot of fresh lemon tips,” said Gina Widjaja, Advertising & PR Manager, Sunkist Growers. “However, we’re continually impressed by new ideas on how to squeeze the most out of a fresh lemon. This contest puts a fun spotlight on why fresh lemons are so much more than garnish.”

Consumers can enter by posting a one to two minute video featuring their unique Sunkist® lemon tips. These lemon “aids” can be tasty, practical, fun, or all three – the more creative and entertaining, the better! Final judging will be determined based on entertainment value, originality and production quality. One grand prize winner will receive $5,000 in cash with five runners-up receiving $1,000 in cash. The first 50 entries will also receive a free Sunkist Lemon Kit.
