Women are invited to enter the contest between May 3, 2010, and June 7, 2010, at doveicecream.com/myminimoment.

“The importance of “me-time” for our DOVE® Ice Cream Miniatures consumers prompted us to conduct a survey. Over 400 mothers were surveyed and an astonishing 70 percent of these ultimate multi-taskers are taking time for themselves each day,” said Craig Hall, general manager, Mars Chocolate North America. “This contest celebrates those cherished moments.”

Women are encouraged to submit a photo and short essay representative of their favorite mini escape from their day.
