Enter The Great Pillow Personality Contest - Sponsored by Fairfield Processing & Sew4Home 
CONTEST EXTENDED THROUGH WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH!
Every pillow has a personality, and we want yours! We are very excited to be sponsoring our very first creative contest with our friends at Fairfield Processing - the folks who make all that great soft stuff, like Poly-Fil® fiberfill, Soft-Touch® pillow inserts, and more. It's super easy to enter. Simply create a pillow, using one of the Fairfield products, take a picture and email it to us. Each day, Fairfield will post a random number of pillow pictures on their Facebook wall, as well as onto a special board on their Pinterest page. The photos that generate the most activity at these social media outlets will be the semi-finalists. From these semi-finalists, an industry panel of judges will select five major winners to receive all kinds of great soft-stuff prizes. These top five winners will also be featured in a special article here on Sew4Home. Create a pillow with pizzazz and enter today. The deadline is September 7th, 2012.
Take a digital picture of your creation, and write up a short description (50 words or less) about your pillow's personality and whether the pillow was made to be passed along or kept. You must be older than 18 and a legal citizen of the USA to enter.
Email the digital picture and its description to: S4H@fairfieldworld.com.
Key on eye on social media, because each day, Fairfield will put up pillow pictures on their Facebook wall, as well as onto a special board on their Pinterest page. The twenty photos that generate the most activity at these social media outlets will be the semi-finalists.

I think, it is very bigot, that only American Citizens can enter this contest. Downright disgusting!
@ Erika Hawkins - Unfortunately, we have to limit our giveaways to USA postal addresses. We know this is a disappointment to some of our loyal visitors outside of the USA. However, to open our giveaways internationally, we would have to understand complex contest laws for every country in the world. The legal fees to do that are far beyond our means. Sew4Home is not a huge corporation; we are simply a small group of dedicated creative folks trying to share as best we can. Because we can't do everything for everyone, we focus on providing the best free sewing tutorials, tips and inspiration possible.
Hello ~
I sent a photo yesterday entering the Great Pillow Personality Contest addressed to the address above [ S4H@fairfieldworld.com ] and also an email this morning asking if they received the photo. I have not had any correspondence from anyone at fairfield. I don't see the pillow on their pintrest or facebook. So I was wondering if the photo was lost and should I send another? It's kind of confusing that no one acknowledges the emails I have sent. Just curiouis to know what the problem is?
Sincerely;
Dar
@ Dar - we will follow-up with Fairfield to confirm all is well. The postings to Pinterest and Facebook are random, but you should see your pillow very soon! Thanks for entereing!
Thank you Ms. Johnson, I didn't realize the postings would be random. I am sorry. I see my pillow has been posted! I appreciate your time.
Sincerely;
Dar
@ Dar - no problem... best of luck!
