Summertime is here, the weather is heating up and the grills are rolling out of garages everywhere filling the air with the scent of tasty burgers and sizzlin’ hot dogs. But when you pulled out your grill, did it look something like this?

Wouldn’t you rather your grill looked more like this?

I know I sure wish our grill was that nice. For the past few years our poor grill has been through a lot of family barbecues and could sure use a makeover. While we won’t be getting a much needed, updated grill, I do have the scoop on a contest where you can enter to win one for yourself!

Sam’s Club Grim Grill Photo Contest

Between now and May 10, 2010 at 12 PM ET, you can enter to win the Grim Grill Contest with a Grand Prize that includes a brand new Member’s Mark 2 in 1 Grill and a $100 Sam’s Club Gift Card that would be perfect for picking up all of your grilling fixin’s (approximate ARV $1,399).  One lucky runner up will also take home a Patio Grill and $40 Sam’s Club Gift Card prize (approximate ARV $239.86).

How to Enter:

1. Visit the Sam’s Club Grim Grill Contest online.
2. Click the orange, Enter the Contest button where you’ll be asked to Tell Us Why you want a new grill and upload a photo of your own “grim grill”.
3. That’s it! You’re entered to win!

Winner Selection Panel

Once all of the entries are in, 10 finalists will be selected and be judged before a panel of Sam’s Club bloggers, including myself. If you REALLY want to win, I want to make sure you’ve got the best chance, so here’s what we’ll be looking for as judges to guide you in your entry. But most importantly, have fun with your entry!

• How well the entry conveys the subject: Grim Grill, and why the entrant is deserving of a new grill.
• Quality of image and text description
• Entry originality.

Sam’s Club provided me with a $200 gift card for my participation in this campaign from April 26ththrough May 24th. Opinions expressed are my own.
