Staples Shopping Cart Video Contest: Win $250 + TV Spot!

Get famous this summer! Staples is sponsoring a video contest, with prizes of $250 gift cards and a chance to appear in a Staples TV commercial. Why have a contest? Staples is THAT excited about $.01 pencils and gluesticks – deals that are the keystones of each upcoming back to school shopping season. Personally, I love stocking up my home office every July and August at Staples, where I get $2 for every empty printer ink cartridge I turn in.

But back to the contest. Entering is easy and you can make the video using your smartphone.

 

 

 

Here’s how to get famous by entering Staples video dance contest
