WINNIE THE POOH STORYTELLER CONTEST

Are You a Storyteller of the Year?

By Sharon Rosenthal, www.camarillo.macaronikid.com April 28, 2013
To celebrate parents and guardians who foster their child’s creativity and teach valuable life lessons through storytelling, Disney Consumer Products (DCP) has launched a nationwide search for the “Winnie the Pooh “Storyteller of the Year.”

The “Storyteller of the Year” user generated contest taps into parents’ love of Winnie the Pooh and invites them to share the loveable bear’s story in a creative way through video and the use of fun props including Pooh plush toys, puppets, blankets or any other Pooh item.

To enter, all parents and families need to do is create a simple, one-minute video that’s sweet like “hunny,” full of wonder, or funny, as they read a select Winnie the Pooh story to their child and show their favorite Pooh items.

From April 22 through May 15, 2013, videos can be submitted online HERE 

Complete rules and a list of prizes can be found HERE.
Parents and guardians can choose from three Pooh stories “A Blustery Day,” “Happy Mother’s Day” and “A Bouncy Babysitter” to create their own video.

Once their video is complete, they simply upload it at DisneyStore.com/PoohStoryteller to enter the contest.

DCP will select the winning video that best showcases creativity, integrates Pooh items, and captures the essence of Winnie the Pooh.

The grand prize winner will receive a trip to Los Angeles, Calif. for a family of four and an assortment of Winnie the Pooh products including toys, books, and other gifts.

As an added bonus, the winning video will be added to an upcoming version of Disney’s Winnie the Pooh: Wonder and Wander App, and everyone who downloads the free app will see the “master storyteller” in action.

Additionally, while in Los Angeles, the winning family will join DCP at the “Wonder and Wander with Winnie the Pooh” experience held at “PLUSH: the posh little urbanites show” on June 9, 2013, where the winner will be officially crowned “Storyteller of the Year,” and will read a Winnie the Pooh story to kids and families, and celebrities in attendance.

Fans can also vote at DisneyStore.com/PoohStoryteller to select a “fan favorite” video. The “fan favorite” will receive a great assortment of Winnie the Pooh products.
