Independent retailers are invited to submit up to two photos of their Midwest-CBK holiday displays, a 150-word description and, if possible, impact in terms of increased traffic, sales and customer feedback. Criteria for judging include creativity and impact. Prizes include awards and Midwest-CBK product credits, which will be presented for first, second and third place.

“Now in our third year of hosting this popular retail awards program, Midwest-CBK is sponsoring the 2009 ‘Show Us Your Sparkle’ contest to celebrate, recognize and share the creative display and event ideas that are helping to drive traffic and sales for independent retail business,” said Frederic Contino, president of Midwest-CBK.

Winners will be announced at the end of December, and photos of the award winners will be on display in all major Midwest-CBK showrooms during the winter markets.
