The 2019 CLYNK for Schools Recycling Challenge is coming to a close, everyone! We want to extend the most exuberant thanks to everyone who is making the 8th Annual Challenge a big success.
Here is how the next part of the Challenge will go down this year:
- We will accept all bags dropped at any Hannaford by 5pm on Friday 3/22, after that the contest is closed.
- It can take us up to 2 more business days to count the containers, so if you are too impatient to wait for the official results just give us until later next week before you start checking your account balances for a “final” number.
- In the spirit of creating some dramatic tension, we’ll be disabling the leaderboards on our website on Friday 3/22 and they will remain down until April 1st — we don’t want to let the cat out of the bag until we count every last container that was CLYNKed during the contest period. We want to have a big reveal at the end. 😊
- THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT – we will now crown the champions on Monday April 1 instead of Friday March 29. We realized sending a message to a school audience on a Friday afternoon would make it nearly impossible for many of you to share… probably not our best communication moment. So instead we will tee-up an email with the winner announcement to go out very early Monday so that you will have it in your inbox before morning announcements. We hope announcing the winners and final earnings on a Monday will give you a better opportunity to celebrate all week long!
So push to the end, everybody! We so appreciate all of your collective recycling awesome-ness, as well as your patience and good humor while we prepare for the big results. We look forward to celebrating the outcome of 8th Annual #CLYNKforSchools Recycling Challenge with all of you on April 1.
Here’s to the sound of change for our schools,
— Your friends at CLYNK
