Great American Cookies searches for the best moms

March 13, 2011

Great American Cookies has launched its inaugural search for the “Great American Mom,” which will take place from March 15 through May 10.

Participants are asked to submit online a 200-word or less pitch on what makes their mom a “Great American Mom.”

The contest kicks off during Great American Cookies’ Bravo Brownies celebration. To recognize moms, the company will offer free samples of its new red velvet and turtle brownie flavors all day on March 15 at participating locations across the country. 

“Moms spend a great deal of time caring for their families and very rarely are able to break away for a bit of rest and relaxation,” said Jenn Johnston, chief marketing and operations officer for GFG Management LLC, parent company of Great American Cookies. “We’re excited to be able to host this nationwide contest in their honor and can’t wait to hear our customers’ heartfelt and extraordinary stories.”

Submissions will be accepted only through the entry form available on Great American Cookies’ website. Visitors to the site also will have the chance to help Great American Cookies select the winners by voting for their favorite entries online from May 11 through May 31.

Winners will be announced in June when one grand prize winner will receive a Four Seasons spa getaway weekend for mom and a guest plus a $1,000 travel voucher. Two runner-up winners also will be selected and will each receive a $250 American Express gift card to help celebrate Mother’s Day.
