Chēkie Events & Design is celebrating its new Chicago’s South Loop location and partnership with Village Paperie & Gifts by giving away three services worth over $14,000.00. This contest asks all entrants to submit a short video or photograph along with a short sentence or two as to what makes them a Chēkie couple. This contest is in search of entrants that walk to the beat of their own drum, might think the grapple is the best fruit invented or believe they are anything but “cookie-cutter”. The contest runs from August 16, 2010 to September 3, 2010. Two winners will win a Full Design Development & Planning Service, est. value: $6,000.00 and one winner will win a Day of Coordination Service, est. value: $2,000.00.

Prizes and Recognition

In addition to receiving one of three services, winner’s picture or video will be showcased on the Chēkie Events & Design website. The winners and five other couples whose image or video are selected as Favorites will have their names and winning images or videos published on the website and on the Chēkie Events & Design Page on Facebook™ for all to admire.
