FIRST ALERT LAUNCHES 'THE GREAT ESCAPE' SWEEPSTAKES ON FACEBOOK
Contest Commemorates Fire Prevention Week with a Grand Prize Trip to Chicago

In recognition of Fire Prevention Week (October 9-15), First Alert is offering its Facebook fans the chance to "escape" to the place where it all began – Chicago, home to First Alert and site of the 1871 Great Chicago Fire, the impetus behind the national observation.

First Alert's "The Great Escape" sweepstakes will award one lucky family with a prize package including roundtrip airfare and hotel accommodations for four to experience some of the "hottest" attractions that the Windy City has to offer. In keeping with the sweepstakes' fire prevention theme, the prize package also will include dinner at the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant and tickets to the Lookingglass Theatre's production of "The Great Fire."

To enter, participants must simply "like" First Alert on Facebook between October 3 and October 31, then register to enter. Existing fans may enter by clicking the sweepstakes tab. Participants may enter once per day.

The sweepstakes is part of a month-long campaign being conducted by First Alert to educate consumers about residential fire prevention and, in particular, the importance of having and practicing a fire escape plan.

It's a daily entry - so they are changing the dates each day. On the entry page it states "PLEASE NOTE the "details" page will reflect the current day as both the start and end date of the sweepstakes. This allows more chances for you to win! One entry per email address per day."

Thanks. I just checked and it's working fine now. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong before.
