The Are You Carhartt Tough? contest has entered the last few weeks of its fourth and final quarter and has received hundreds of entry nominations at http://www.CarharttRental.com.
The contest began last February and has generated the selection of nine quarterly winners so far. When the contest closes on Jan. 30, three additional finalists will be selected, and all 12 will be featured on the contest?s web site where the public will be encouraged to vote for the toughest of the tough. Two grand prize winners will be chosen based on public votes.
The contest was created in conjunction with a new partnership between Carhartt, the nation?s leading manufacturer of premium work wear for over 120 years, and Cintas Corporation, North America?s largest uniform supplier, and the roll-out of the new Carhartt Rental Workwear line, which is available exclusively through Cintas.
?This contest is really a reflection of our companies,? says Chuck Helmes, Director of Garment Strategy at Cintas Corporation. ?Both Carhartt and Cintas are known for providing tough products and dependable service, and we want to celebrate workers who reflect those same characteristics.?
With Ducks Unlimited acting as media sponsor, contest organizers have reached out to the American workforce to identify people who are strong, dependable, resilient and rugged. The two grand prizes include a weekend duck hunt trip designed by Ducks Unlimited or a trip for two to The STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series in 2011.
