Chiquita Invites you to Vote for the Best Banana Label

Chiquita Brands International, Inc. is inviting you to choose the best consumer-created designs that will grace the company's iconic blue sticker on millions of Chiquita bananas nationwide. The call for votes is a continuation of a sticker competition announced in June, when Chiquita requested design submissions.


Now through Sunday, Sept. 12th, consumers can visit the Chiquita Banana Sticker Design Contest at www.EatAChiquita.com/sticker-contest to view the 50 finalist consumer designs and link to vote. Participants can vote for a maximum of 10 sticker designs per day, but may not vote for any given design more than once per day. Voting restrictions apply; official contest rules are available online.

Chiquita will feature on its bananas nationwide the 18 designs that garner the most votes; the 18 grand-prize winners will be announced on www.EatAChiquita.com Monday, Sept. 13, 2010. Each winning sticker will be printed and placed on Chiquita bananas during the month of November.

Chiquita created the fun and interactive Web site, www.EatAChiquita.com, as a platform for consumer engagement and entertainment. Within the first six months of its October 2009 launch, more than 500,000 people visited the Web site and fans created more than 25,000 customized sticker faces using the site's sticker studio application. The site also features a Photo Customizer, allowing fans to add their custom stickers to photos, a Banana Boogie Battle video game, videos and more. The company has also launched Shop A Peel(TM) by Chiquita, an online merchandise store on Zazzle.com where diehard Chiquita fans can go to customize a wide range of items with their personalized sticker faces.
