-The Duck([R]) Brand Moving Made Easy Contest Challenges Participants to Share Their Moving Expertise for a $2,500 Grand Prize-

AVON, Ohio -- Have you perfected the art of packing? Mastered the moving day process? Think you're the savviest mover on the block? Prove it by entering your most helpful suggestion for making the moving process faster, easier or less stressful in the Duck([R]) brand "Moving Made Easy Contest," sponsored by Henkel Corporation. The suggestion that packs the most punch is worth a grand prize of $2,500.

Last year, Henkel received hundreds of stories in its moving nightmares contest, detailing dramas of moving days gone awry, ranging from movers holding possessions hostage to weather complications to damaged property. This year, the company wants to help make moving a little less hectic. Beginning May 1, 2008, contest entrants will be able to submit their most helpful suggestion that prevented moving horrors and helped them (and their belongings) get through moving day in one piece.

Whether it's dealing with professional movers or preparing kids and pets for the big day or packing breakables, labeling boxes and unpacking at the new place, consumers are challenged to share their best-kept moving secrets. Entrants will be judged on how creative, original and helpful their suggestion is.
