Best Buy Black Friday VIP Contest

@Bestbuy #BlackFriday I want to see Sweeties readers at Best Buy on Black Friday! Wouldn’t it be super cool to see Sweeties readers wearing Sweeties t-shirts, standing in line at Best Buy on Black Friday morning?

Here’s my challenge. If you enter this sweepstakes and win I will mail you a free Sweeties t-shirt. You will have to send me proof that you actually won to get the t-shirt. And, you have to promise to wear it that day and take a picture of yourself standing in line wearing it. Then you have to email me the pic so I can put it on the site to show everybody.
