Rent.com launches New American Dream contest

A whopping 87% of U.S. adults have de-bunked the myth that owning a home is the American Dream. This surprising statistic has inspired Rent.com to invite people across the nation to share their very own “New American Dream.”

Whether it’s traveling the world, sending your kids to college, starting a business or becoming a rock star, Rent.com wants to hear about it! Individuals are invited to submit their New American Dream for a chance to win one of three fantastic prizes:

Grand Prize (1 winner): FREE RENT FOR A YEAR, up to $10,000
Second Prize (1 winner): A dream Caribbean vacation package

Round-trip air transportation for two (2) persons to St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

Honorable Mention Prize (5 winners): $100 Visa® debit card

Contestants simply submit a 1 minute video or 250 word essay describing their New American Dream by visiting www.Rent.com/NewAmericanDream. Entries will be accepted from February 14, 2011 until May 2, 2011.

Entrants are also encouraged to share their submissions via social media channels, asking friends and family to vote for their entry. Twenty-five Finalists will be chosen based on the number of votes that their submissions receive. Winners will be chosen based upon a combination of community votes and the votes of a panel of expert judges.
