If you have submitted an eligible entry, and if your entry is selected a winner, we will be contacting you in late January – early February 2009. Please do not contact us for updates about your entry prior to that date because we will not be able to provide any information until all eligible entries have been evaluated and judging is complete.

Whether or not you will be joining us in Chicago for the retreat as a Contest winner, please continue to visit LoveYourVeggies.com for additional activities and tips to share with your children. You can also expect to see additional information – including a curriculum from the retreat – in the spring.

Best wishes,

The Love Your Veggies™ Campaign Team

In partnership with Chef Art Smith, the makers of Hidden Valley® Salad Dressings want to identify, help and reward moms who are true vegetable advocates through the Love Your Veggies™ "Search for Veggie Champions Contest." For 10 lucky moms, Chef Smith and other experts will lead a two-day retreat April 28 and April 29 aimed at learning and sharing tips and tools on planting, harvesting, cooking and eating vegetables with children. These moms will also receive $5,000 to start or maintain a community vegetable garden in their hometown.

The Contest entry period has closed.
