“We want to hear uplifting stories about inspiration and triumph over adversity … from individuals, their family and friends,” offers Theresa Potter, Director of Marketing for Glory Foods.  “Sensibly Seasoned has been successful from the start.  We feel fortunate to have so many loyal consumers. This is simply our way of saying thank you, not only to our Glory loyalists, but to everyone. It’s a small thing to do, for all the right reasons.”

To participate, individuals simply need to share their story in 500 words or less. Five regional finalists will be selected from each of Glory Foods’ seven regions (located in the continental U.S.) by a panel of objective judges as regional finalists. Four of the finalists from each region will receive a basket of Sensibly Seasoned products, while one winner from within each region will receive Sensibly Seasoned products for one year, as well as a place in the final competition.

The most inspirational story from each region will be presented to a panel of celebrity judges who will choose the most triumphant story. The grand prize winner will receive an all-expense paid cruise for two as well as the opportunity to have their inspirational story shared with the rest of the world.

“We hope to share stories of inspiration and hope,” adds Potter. “There are people in our communities doing miraculous things every day.  To us, those are real people of Glory.”  The contest launches on April 1, with entries accepted through December 1, 2006.  For full program details or to submit a story, consumers can log onto SensiblySeasoned.com or write to:  Triumphs of Glory, c/o 6116 Cleveland Avenue, Columbus, OH 43231.
