Score BIG This Season With Summit Bank!


Summit Bank is back again this year scouting for a central or southern Arkansas high school football team to win some cash and be featured in some local advertising. The Bismarck Lions won this title last year and they are the face of this year’s contest! This is your chance to enter your team to win $2,500 for your schools’ athletics department. Take a shot at fame and a little fortune all at once!

Your entries can be sent to teamwork@summitbankdirect.com as videos, photos, and audio recordings or in written form as an essay. If your team decides to submit a video, you can upload the video to YouTube and email us an embedded link to the video. All teams are required to include a team photo and a response to the question, “What makes YOUR team special?”

The five-team finalists will be selected based on the creativity and thoughtfulness that goes into answering the question regarding what makes the team special as well as the passion and interest shown by the team, coach and school. In addition to the $2,500 grand prize, Summit Bank will also have a community tailgate party for the winning community and award $500 to the other top four finalists. Each school who enters will receive at least a $200 donation for their entry.

Have fun, be creative and show your team spirit! Just let us know why your football team is so special and deserves to be in the spotlight and your school could win $2,500. The contest opens today and entries must be received no later than September 30, 2010. Follow us on Facebook and visit our blog at www.summitbankteamwork.blogspot.com.
