Site-A-Sign Contest Offers Up To $500 To Tax Reformers

Here is the contest...send an email with the location of an "Eliminate The BPT" sign currently on display ("Dry Cleaner at 23rd and Lombard" is fine) to brett@philadelphiaforward.org. Feel free to provide the name of the store and we will be happy to tell where signs have been sited in future emails as free advertising. We will randomly select three emails -- and as long as we verify that an "Eliminate the BPT" sign is where it is reported to be -- winners will receive cold, hard cash. (In the picture, Philadelphia Forward Executive Director Brett Mandel notes where signs are appearing across Philadelphia.)

  • First place $100 (and an "Eliminate the BPT" T-Shirt)...and a chance to win up to $500
  • Second place $50 (and an "Eliminate the BPT" T-Shirt)...and a chance to win up to $250
  • Third place $25 (and an "Eliminate the BPT" T-Shirt)...and a chance to win up to $125
If your email lists more than one home or business with an "Eliminate the BPT" sign, we will multiply your cash winnings by as many signs as you site (up to five). So if you are selected as a first-place winner and you have five valid sites reported, you will win $500!

So help us spread the word, site a sign, and win up to $500!
