Wal-Mart Slogan Contest

The efforts to cause change at Wal-Mart have just stepped up a notch.Campaign for America's Future is having a contest where you get to submit a slogan to be placed on a billboard near Wal-Mart’s headquarters. This is part of the ongoing efforts of many organizations to fix Wal-Mart. The DC premier of WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price was last night (I didn’t get to go). It seems like it went very well, no confrontation with Wal-Mart execs trying to video tape the movie but…. Also there are many house parties to screen the movie coming up. There is also list of screenings if you want to find one in your area.

From the site:

Take Action to Fix Wal-Mart

Below are five ways to help confront the hidden high costs of Wal-Mart's deceptive "low-price" image, and stand up for America's workers, family businesses and communities.

WAL MART SLOGAN CONTEST

Send a message to Wal-Mart's executives and shareholders through our Wal-Mart slogan contest! Submit the winning slogan, and we'll publish it in two key spots:
A prominent billboard located one mile from Wal-Mart's Bentonville, Arkansas headquarters, and A highly-trafficked website in time for the holiday shopping season.

Please submit your slogan today, and help expose the truth about Wal-Mart!

Contest Rules & Guidelines

Your slogan should expose something true about Wal-Mart in a creative way. Remember, this is meant to be thought-provoking not obscene or slanderous! (ex. "Wal-Mart: Poverty Wages for Workers. Always!")

The shorter the better. Remember, this needs to fit on a billboard!

You can submit as many slogans as you like before 11:59pm EST, on Friday November 25th — "Black Friday," the largest shopping day of the year.

We'll announce 10 finalists the last week of November. Everyone will be invited to vote online to select a winner in early December.
