I came across an interesting article, thanks to Professor Talarico that is, on how Dunkin Donuts has decided to hold its second "Create Dunkin's Next Donut" contest just in time to celebrate the company's 60th birthday! It's fair to state that last year's contest was a huge success, for they obtained more than 130,000 donut submissions and 174,000 votes, so why not do it again?
Soo I'm sure your all wonder how this contest actually works. Well.. anyone can participate in making can their own donut using Dunkin Donuts’ website (https://www.dunkindonuts.com/donut/) This website allows you to actally select the shape, dough, filling, frosting and toppings of your donut! That's right, you now have the ability to virtual create a sweet masterpiece. This year, Dunkin Donuts offers a new option for you to save your creation and find them in the My Donuts section located on the Dunkin Donuts website.
Yes, creating a virtual donut sounds pretty cool, but I'm sure your curious as to whats in it for you, right? Well, the judges are going to pick 12 finalists based on their use of ingredients, the name of their donut and the story behind why they created it. Each of the 12 finalists will also each recieve a $1,200 cash prize, a year’s worth of donuts, a Flip HD camcorder and a trip to Dunkin’ Donuts University to bake their donuts and meet with chefs. The grand prize winner takes home $12,000 and will have the honor of seeing their donut sold in stores for a limited time! Overall, this contest seems like an awesome way to wish Dunkin Donuts a happy 60th birthday!

Brittney,
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I have not yet tried creating my own donuts, but after the classroom demonstration last night and your blog post today I just may have to. I don't know how many times I go into Dunkin Donuts and want to take the icing from one doughnut with the sprinkles on another, and on and on. Watch out, maybe I'll out-create you. :-)
I did this and it was soooo much fun but it made me really crave some donuts haha
ReplyDeleteI must say the donut making thing was awesome and it definately made me hungry for some tasty Dunkin Donuts.
ReplyDeleteI am up to six now. I don't know which one to submit! It's fun!
