Great American Cookies seeking American love stories

December 20, 2011

Great American Cookies has launched its inaugural search for the "Great American Love Story" just in time for Valentine's Day.

To enter the contest, participants are asked to share, in 200 words or less, their special love story. The Great American Love Story Contest will be open for entries through Jan. 16.

The contest will be conducted completely online. Visitors to the site will also have the chance to help Great American Cookies select the winners by voting for their favorite entries online from Jan. 17 through Jan. 24.

Winners will be announced on or around Valentine's Day when one grand prize winner will receive a travel package valued at $5,000, including a $2,500 Marriott gift card, $1,500 airfare voucher and a $1,000 American Express gift card.

Two runner-up winners will also be selected and will each receive a $250 American Express gift card.

"Great American Cookies has been a Valentine's Day gift destination for decades and many of our customers enjoy customizing a Cookie Cake featuring their love story," said Jenn Johnston, chief marketing and operations officer for GFG Management LLC. "We created this contest to provide a fun way for them to tell their stories to the world and we are looking forward to reading all of the touching, and perhaps even funny, great American love stories."

Great American Cookies is managed by GFG Management LLC, a subsidiary of Global Franchise Group.
