Do not enter unless you are interested in the Olympic games.
What can you win?
One grand prize winner will receive a 5-day trip for two to the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic games. The prize package includes hotel accommodations at the Beijing Hilton, round trip airfare from San Francisco (you'll be responsible for getting yourself to SF), two tickets to select Olympic game events, and ground transportation during the trip. Here's an interesting tidbit from the official rules: "Winner and travel companions must stay on tour provided by Sponsor during entire trip". (I guess it's because you're visiting a communist country.) The grand prize winner will also receive a $4,000 gift card, and $15,000 cash to help pay the income taxes you'll owe on this prize.
One first prize winner will receive a trip for four to the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Gymnastics in Philadelphia, PA from June 20-23, 2008. The prize package includes 4 days at a Hilton Family hotel, 4 tickets to the trials, and a $5,000 gift card which can be used towards travel expenses.
One second prize winner will receive a trip for four to the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for USA Swimming in Omaha, Nebraska from July 4-7, 2008. The prize package includes 4 days at a Hilton Family hotel, 4 tickets to the trials, and a $5,000 gift card which can be used towards travel expenses.
One third prize winner will receive a trip for four to the U.S. Paralympics Team Trials for USA Track and Field trials in Atlanta, Georgia from June 27-30, 2008. The prize package includes 4 days at a Hilton Family hotel, 4 tickets to the trials, and a $5,000 gift card which can be used towards travel expenses.
