REDVERS - For the past 18 years, Kraft has run a national competition, giving Canadian communities an opportunity to win $250,000 to upgrade their local arena and host an NHL preseason game.
This year, Redvers is taking a shot at 小蓝视频 named Hockeyville. The first step to success is the nomination stage. Recreation director Nadine Pryde nominated the community. That enabled Redvers to enter the second stage, the rally stage.
From the time of nomination until March 2, everyone who has any kind of history with the arena is invited to go to the Kraft Hockeyville website and submit their stories.
On March 3, judging will begin on the stories and pictures submitted. The judges will be looking specifically for three things: Redvers’ spirit and passion for hockey, the importance of Redvers’ arena to the community, and a description of how the prize money could be used.
Ten points are given for every submitted story, three points are awarded for every related picture and another point is given for every ‘reaction’ to a story or picture. One more point can be gained for every note that is added to a submitted story or picture.
On March 3, judges will begin looking at all the submissions. Eighty per cent of the judges’ final score will come from their opinions of the stories and the additional 20 per cent will come from the total points accumulated by story submissions, pictures, reactions and notes.
On March 15, the top four communities will be announced. A few weeks later, on April 4 and 5, the voting stage takes place. The community that receives the greatest number of votes will be named the winner and receive the grand prize. The three runners-up will each take home $25,000.
Even if they don’t win, they’ve experienced the reward of seeing their town rally together. A Saskatchewan community has never won the grand prize, so perhaps this is the year. Take time to visit hockeyville.kraftheinz.com and enter your story, picture and reactions to help Redvers win.
