Since this is the first-ever Twitter Twongue Twister experiment, we are winging it. Outlined below are the: who, what, when, where and why of the Twitter Twongue Twister.

Who:

Anyone from sea to shining sea. The more the merrier. Everyone and their mother. You get the picture. This contest is open to anyone with a creative thought, a Twitter addiction, a tendency to speak in tongue twister and even Twitter novices.

What:

  • Draft an original tongue twister; e.g.,: @TwTwister Crazy Cathy Conway cannot consume coffee 'cause coffee contains caffeine which Cathy consumes quite carefully.
  • Submit your twister through your Twitter account. If you don't have a Twitter account, visit Twitter.com to set up a profile and follow @TwTwister.
  • Winners will be selected every two weeks based on pre-determined categories and will be contacted via direct message to obtain shipping information to receive their prize.

Guidelines:

  1. Begin every twister with @TwTwister so it hits the Twongue Twister Twitter page. If the twister does not begin with @TwTwister, we will not see it and you cannot win a prize.
  2. Wit, cleverness and ”twongue in cheek is encouraged, but keep it clean. Anything deemed risqué will be ”tweezed.“ The list of no-no's include:
    • Swear words
    • Vulgar subject matter
    • Offensive topics or language
  3. Twisters must fit in one tweet - 140 characters. This includes @TwTwister and space for a re-tweet. Twisters cannot continue into a second tweet.

BONUS: If you love your Twongue Twister so much that you feel it cannot be fully appreciated simply in text, send us video of you reciting, acting out, miming or singing your twister and we will find a place to post it. The twister must follow the same rules of cleanliness and cannot exceed 14.0 seconds.

Send video submissions to: TwongueTwister@cohnmarketing.com

When:

July 29 - November 4, 2009 (Exactly 14.0 weeks)

A winner will be chosen every two weeks.

Where:

Why:

We say, why not!
