A video camera and a few minutes of creativity was all it took for six lucky Dairy Queen fans to be selected as winners of a Mini Cooper Countryman car in the DQ system’s Mini Blizzard TREATment online video contest.
The winners will receive their new cars on the first day of summer, Tuesday, June 21, at their local Dairy Queen store. The winning videos can be viewed at DairyQueen.com.
“Each video tells an extraordinary story of surprising someone with a ‘mini treatment,’ all to celebrate our new Mini Blizzard Treat,” said Michael Keller, chief brand officer for American Dairy Queen Corporation. “All of the videos were entertaining. Some were funny, while others conveyed a poignant message. We appreciate the efforts of everyone who submitted a video and thank our many fans who took the time to view them and vote.”
The six winners selected by Dairy Queen fans are:
- Walt Arnett, Blizzard Wizard, Lexington, Ky.;
- Logan Bean, The Mini Blizzard – Blizzard Treatment, Rexburg, Idaho;
- Nick Kallies, Marshmallow Now, Blizzard Later, Golden Valley, Minn.;
- Perek Lundquist, Mini Blizzard Emergency, Minneapolis, Minn.;
- Robbie Sondag, One Good Deed Deserves Another, Fort Wayne, Ind.; and
- Ross Stremcha, Mini Blizzard Celebration, Walla Walla, Wash.
The videos submitted to the Dairy Queen Mini Blizzard TREATment online video contest were narrowed down to the top 24, which were posted to the DQ system’s Facebook page. The company then asked its more than 3.3 million Facebook fans to vote on their favorite video entries.
