Folgers' contest offers opportunity to perform for Kara DioGuardi

Starting this month, Folgers is once again teaming up with multi-award winning songstress and former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi to kick-off the 2011 Folgers Jingle Contest. Folgers invites Americans to create their own version of the iconic “The Best Part of Wakin’ Up” jingle for a chance to win $25,000, a mentoring session with Kara and appear in a future commercial.

Five finalists will travel to New York to perform their jingle live for Kara and a panel of judges. Click here to see footage from last year’s contest:

Over its 26-year history, the Folgers jingle has been adapted by numerous nationally-renowned recording artists across various music genres including country, R&B, A cappella and gospel. Now America has the chance to add their own personal touch.
