Please help me win an amazing contest!#1

Posted: 5/12/14 at 1:46pm

Hello! I've been a long time member of this board (I mostly read, occasionally post).

I am a semi-finalist in a culinary contest, and the winner gets a free gluten free trip to Italy! It's down to me and two other people for a finalist spot, so I need to get as many votes as I can as quickly as possible. It's a very close competition, so I'm reaching out to people however I can.

Would you be kind enough to take a moment to vote for my recipe? I would really appreciate it. The company doesn't give out your email address or sign you up for unwanted mailing lists. Voting ends this Friday, May 16th.

Here is the link to the voting page. My entry is under my name - Jessica Hanson.

Thanks so much! I would be forever grateful!

I just voted for you. Looks like you are currently in the lead with 39%.

I realize you have to plug Jovial products in your recipe but I use other brands of canned tomatoes and EVOO and really like them, though I don't know if they work for people who require a gluten free diet. Love a good pasta sauce recipe. Will have to try it sometime. Good luck.

Nope. I hit Submit and I get a page that says "Oops! We couldn't find the page you were looking for. Wouldn't you rather get lost in Italy?"

I just tried from my iPad and it said "the email entered is already in use". I'm going to assume my vote went through.

Voting is over!

Thank you so much to all of you who took the time to vote and share with others. I am happy to report that because of your kindness and support, I have moved up in the competition and am now a finalist eligible for the grand prize trip to Italy! I will find out July 1st if my entry won. Fingers crossed!!!

Also, please check out Jovial's website if you haven't had a chance to browse around it. It is a really wonderful company that offers some fantastic pastas, organic jarred tomatoes, organic cookies, ect, many of which are gluten free. Part of my prize for being a semi-finalist was a gift certificate to their store - can't wait to use it!

Thank you again for the support! Like I said before, this is such a wonderful community, and I am so very grateful for the kindness you have shown me. I will update you July 1st!
