Norton Online Backup Brings the Sizzle to Backup With "Save Your Bacon" Contest
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Dec 09, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
WHAT:
To launch the newest version of Norton Online Backup, today Symantec
announced the "Save Your Bacon with Norton" contest, where people can
share their stories of data loss to win one of twelve bacon-loaded
prize packs. Norton Online Backup is an easy-to-use online backup
service that can "save your bacon" by protecting your most valuable
files from loss or disaster. Awarded through a random drawing, all
prize winners will receive a one year gourmet bacon-of-the-month club
subscription and a full year's subscription to Norton Online Backup.
Winners will also receive bacon dental floss, bacon mints, bacon soap
and bacon lip balm. Everyone who enters will receive a free
one-month trial to the updated service.
WHEN:
-- December 09, 2009 - February 28, 2010
-- First 6 winners selected: January 15, 2010
-- Next 6 winners selected: February 28, 2010
WHERE: www.nortonsavedmybacon.com
HOW TO ENTER:
1) You tell us your data-loss horror stories -- like that time you
actually lost your Macbook to a pack of rabid squirrels -- and how
you either used online backup or wish you had. (Everyone who enters
gets a free trial subscription to Norton Online Backup)
2) We review your submissions, maybe laugh at your foolishness or
cry at your misfortune. Then we pick our favorites to be featured
each week. For your entry to be featured, you must include either a
photo, a link to a video or an awesome cartoon depicting what went
down (but it's not a requirement to enter the contest drawing).
3) We promise not to cheat while randomly choosing 12 grand prize
winners, split between two drawings -- first in January and then in
March. The luckiest of the lucky will receive a one year delicious
gourmet bacon-of-the-month club subscription (or, for our vegetarian
friends, the cash equivalent). They'll also get bacon soap, bacon
dental floss, bacon lip balm, bacon mints and, of course, 25 GB of
free online backup for a year.
4) What are you waiting for? Get shakin' and get your dang bacon!
