Online Voting Taking Place for Winner of Libman Freedom Tour Video Contest

July 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Arcola, Ill. (July 20, 2011) –  From July 11, 2011 through July 31, 2011, Americans across the country have the opportunity to vote for their favorite of nine finalists in the Libman Freedom Tour ‘What Does Freedom Mean to Me’ Video Contest.  The contest is the final piece of the Libman Freedom Tour, which, for nine weeks in May and June, made its way across select U.S. cities to promote the FREEDOM® Spray Mop and at the same time, reached out to Americans to find out what freedom means to them.
The nine finalists, each representing one of the nine cities visited by the Libman Freedom Tour, initially participated in the contest in their hometown cities.  A panel of judges selected one winning video answer from each city, based on relevance to the question, originality and delivery.  The winners earned $200 each and were moved into the finals round.

The grand-prize winner will receive a seven-day, six-night trip for two to up to three of the cities on the Freedom Tour, in addition to $500 cash. To see all of the videos and vote for your favorite finalist, go to www.LibmanFreedomTour.com.

On May 2,  The Libman Freedom Tour, sponsored by The Libman Company; manufacturers of the FREEDOM® Spray Mop,  embarked from New York City.  The Freedom Tour, manned by Dixie Thomas and Ali Shaw, challenged residents in each city of the tour to answer the questions “what does freedom mean to you?” and “who or what in your family most represents freedom?” to participate in the Libman “What Freedom Means to Me” Contest.

During the cross-country Libman Freedom Tour, the pair stopped at key Libman retail partner locations, freedom-themed monuments and historical sites where they challenged the public in nine cities – New York City, Atlanta, Cincinnati/Dayton, Chicago, St. Louis, San Antonio, Albuquerque/Santa Fe, Phoenix and San Francisco – to appear on camera to answer questions about the meaning of freedom.
The Freedom Tour celebrates the Libman FREEDOM® Spray Mop, a mop innovation that affords users the liberty to clean their way. The Freedom Mop provides freedom from the cost and waste of disposable cleaning pads, the freedom to choose any cleaning solution, and the freedom to make cleaning more convenient, without buckets or batteries.

In addition to the contest, there is also a Freedom Tour Sweepstakes open to the public who have the opportunity to win $1,776 cash when they enter before July 31, 2011. For complete contest and sweepstakes rules, as well as a schedule and list of locations for the duo, visit www.LibmanFreedomTour.com.
