TacoTime Searches for Spokesperson Look-A-Like
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
Although best known for serving up fresh, quality Mexican food, TacoTime is also
well-known for the friendly female face that graces its television commercials.
Today, surrounding the launch of a new web site and Facebook Fan page, TacoTime
is introducing an online contest in search of people who look like the
much-loved TacoTime spokesperson. 

Those thinking they can pass as TacoTime`s spokesperson are able to enter the
contest online at www.TacoTime.com by providing a photo of themselves to be
judged by an independent group of judges (official rules and details at
www.tacotime.com/contest/rules). More specifically, judges will be looking for
entries that resemble the spokesperson in facial features, hairstyle and
stature. The contest will begin on June 1 and run through August 15, 2009. 

The winners of the look-a-like contest will be announced and prizes awarded on
August 30, 2009. The grand prize winner will receive $150 in Mexi-Money Gift
Certificates and a swag bag full of other TacoTime merchandise, plus the winning
photo will be featured on the TacoTime web site. The second and third place
winners will also receive swag bags including Mexi-Money worth $75 and $25
respectively, along with their images featured on the Famous Faces contest web
page. 

"We want to give our loyal customers a chance to have their moment in the
spotlight," said Jean Smoke, director of marketing. "The new TacoTime website is
the perfect stage for a fun and friendly face-off. We can`t wait to meet the
other faces of TacoTime." 

Those who don`t happen to resemble the TacoTime spokesperson still have an
opportunity to win some TacoTime Mexi-Money. Visit the promotions page to view
the new commercial, where web guests providing feedback could be among those
rewarded. 

Contest entries will be accepted through August 15, 2009. No purchase necessary
to enter; for complete details, visit www.tacotime.com/contest/rules.
