Power A Smile Contest for Kids
Duracell and actress Abigail Breslin kicked off a nationwide search for Duracell Holiday Ambassadors to help “Power A Smile” this holiday season. The winning ambassadors will work alongside Breslin, best known for her Academy Award nominated role in “Little Miss Sunshine,” to spread smiles and cheer to children in hospitals throughout the country and in their own communities.
Children between the ages of six and 15 are invited to participate via online and in-person casting calls. The online casting call will take place from October 19th through November 10th. To enter, parents can upload a video or photos of their children exhibiting that moment of excitement upon opening or powering up a gift for the first time. Participants will be judged based on their most enthusiastic demonstration of excitement when opening or powering up a gift for the first time. Judges also will consider overall charisma, as well as suitability as a spokesperson for the event.
Winners will be selected by November 26, 2007. The winners will receive a trip to New York City to meet Breslin, a $500 shopping spree, Duracell batteries to power all of their holiday toys, and the chance to power smiles for less fortunate children this holiday season.
