Show Us Your Grass
***Update 11/2/2020: See new categories for November and upcoming contests.***
***UPDATE: The contests remain the same in that we want you to show us your use of ENDURANT, so you can win a $500 U.S. Visa Gift Card. However, to be clear on all these details, please review for the current contest rules and for upcoming contest plans in this blog. Future contests may change as needed, with the current plan for 2020 contests' categories and dates forecasted below and updated.
Despite all the details, the main parameters are simple. 1. You purchased and used Endurant 2. You show us your application of Endurant, tell us a little about it, tag us and add a couple hashtags (as detailed below). 3. Get noticed in your post that shows the benefits of using Endurant and 4. We'll mail you, if you win the contest, a $500 U.S. Visa Gift Card that you can use anywhere in the U.S. 5. We'll start another contest soon, according to the plans below, which we may update before each new contest begins.
Enter the Endurant Turf Colorant Contest. This photo and video contest could lead to winning a $500 U.S. Visa Gift Card for showing us how you applied Endurant Turf Colorant recently or over the past 10 years. Enter into one of eight (or enter all eight) categories by posting to Social Media and showing us your use of Endurant beginning Sept.1, 2020.
As Endurant celebrates its 10th anniversary of painting grass, join in the celebration with chances to win cash prizes. From September 1 through December 27, approximately every two weeks (with one week off, Sept. 28 - Oct. 4), we have a new contest where you will have a chance to win $500 paid in a U.S. Visa gift card that can be used on purchases within the U.S..
All you have to do is show us how
you’ve used Endurant turf colorants any time over the past 10 years. Post the image, photo gallery or video to Twitter, tag us (@Geoponics) and include two hashtags (#Endurant #TurfColorantContest).
The post that best displays the benefits of Endurant with the most interactions and reach will win for that two week contest, and then, the next Endurant turf colorant contest category begins. (Excluding the one week off. Follow us for any updates in future contests as they are subject to change.)
***As indicated throughout, the product used in the post entry must be Endurant to win the Endurant Turf Colorant Contest. Have proof of purchase of Endurant available to send to Geoponics, emailed to geoadmin@geoponicscorp.com , upon request.***
*Contests end on a Sunday and winners will be announced approximately one week later on a Monday, dubbed Money Mondays. Prospective winners will be contacted individually prior to public announcement to verify details upon Geoponics' request, including an address for sending the $500 U.S. Visa Gift Card, proof of purchase, sales rep, distributor name or other requests.

Contests begin Sept. 1, 2020 and are planned through Dec. 27, 2020. Details on TurfPaint.net/blog[/caption]
Endurant is offering eight opportunities to win between September 1 and the end of 2020. The final contest winner may receive their prize in the New Year. You may enter all contests. However,
one winner, who can only win once in the 8-contest series, will be selected based on showing the benefits of using Endurant with the highest activity of their social media post and popularity as indicated by likes, comments and shares. T
he winner will be selected based upon the most popular image that best displays the benefits of using Endurant, thus the product must be Endurant and the poster must be a customer of Endurant via Geoponics, a sales rep or a distributor and this may need to be verified with Geoponics upon request within 5 days of contacting the prospective winner. Geoponics will contact the winner through social media and announce the winner within approximately one week of the contest ending. Contests end on Sundays and the winner will be announced approximately one week later on Monday. If contacted by Geoponics, please respond to any questions, such as for the mailing address to send the $500 U.S. Visa Gift Card, and proof of purchase of Endurant emailed to geoadmin@geoponicscorp.com . To remain eligible, prospective winners must be available for contact within five days of the contest ending for verification purposes. Each post must have proper hashtags # and tags @ as noted below.

The 8 Endurant Turf Colorant Contest Categories:
Remember, these hashtags below are just optional. But they give you the category details of each of the eight contests. Each contest category runs for about two weeks.
1.
#FirstTimesACharm Show us the results from the first time using an Endurant product. Endurant FLEX is the newest in the product line, so for many, that will be a new, first time use this fall. But perhaps you have a photo from the past of your first time applying any Endurant colorant or first time applying a specific color in the line of Endurant products, such as Endurant Mulch Colorant, Endurant TE, Endurant FW, Endurant Premium, Endurant PR or any of the Endurant products. Be sure to name the product in the post, such as #EndurantPR. This contest runs for just shy of two weeks, beginning
Tuesday, September 1 through Sunday, September 13.
2.
#ShowUsYourTees Show us your golf tees. Perhaps you used Endurant like “Liquid Overseed,” enhancing your tees using paint instead of or in addition to overseed. Show us the results if you applied Endurant on tees.
This contest runs Monday, September 14 through Sunday, September 27.
(Note: One week off of all contests. Mon. Sept. 28 - Sun. Oct. 4. Use this week to prepare for the next rounds! Future contests are subject to change before they begin. Keep an eye on this page and social media for updates.)3.
#FairwaysToHeaven Got green fairways using Endurant? Let’s see them. We'd love to hear some details about the application, such as application rates; shade of Endurant; whether it's all #LiquidOverseed or a hybrid of seed.
Oct. 5 - Oct. 184.
#GreenedUpGreens Show us your use of Endurant on golf greens.
Oct. 19 - Nov. 1

#CreativeColorant Most unique and/or creative usage of an Endurant turf colorant. Endurant applied in unique ways, perhaps pine or palm colorant.

Use of Endurant anywhere on a golf course, sports field or applied by a professional lawn service business in the U.S..

Let’s see the most improved grass using Endurant turf colorant.
Dec. 14 – Dec 27

Post to Play: Encourage Participation to Win
Encourage friends, colleagues and coworkers to like, comment and share your post. Include hashtags and tags on shares as well on the original post to increase post’s reach and odds of winning. NOTE: For shared posts to be seen, the account the post is shared to must also be a fan or follower of Geoponics Twitter page or not have privacy settings limiting the chance for Geoponics and others to see the post. Doesn't mean it's necessity to win, but it will increase the odds the post is seen and thus the odds of winning.

Winners will be contacted and announced within approximately one week of contest ending. Share the U.S. address for the mailing of your $500 U.S. Visa Gift Card.
The $500 Visa Gift Card will be mailed to the U.S. address provided at time of winner’s announcement. This may be used by the maintenance crew or however you wish. If you win, we'd love to hear how you chose to enjoy the winnings.
