NCJ Football Contest returns next week

So, you think you know college football? Prove it!

The Nance County Journal is pleased to announce that next week will be the first week for the annual football contest.

Each week we will have a page dedicated to the NCJ Football Contest. The page will have 16 sponsors, each with a game hidden in their ad. We say hidden, but you don’t have to look too deeply. The games are listed at the top of each ad.

So here is how it works. You pick the winner of 16 college football games and one tie-breaker. Fill out your entry form and drop it off at the NCJ Worldwide Headquarters, conveniently located at 420 3rd St., in Fullerton. You can also drop the entry form in the mail, sending it to P.O. Box 10, Fullerton, NE 68638.

We do limit one entry per person, per week. But everyone in your family can submit their own entry. Just fill our a separate entry form.

Since deadlines are REALLY important in the newspaper world, let’s talk about deadlines. Each week you will have a week to get your entry turned in. The entry form is always for the next week’s games. All entry forms must be turned in by noon on the Wednesday following publication.

Each week the person who picks the most correct games will win a $25 prize. We will pay the prize out as either a gift card or you can extend your NCJ subscription (the choice is your’s). Gift cards must be picked up in our office. We will not mail them.

The football contest will run for 13 weeks. The final entry form will appear in the Nov. 13 edition of the NCJ.

At the conclusion of the contest all entry forms (winners and losers) will be entered into a drawing for a $100 grand prize.

Weekly winners and the grand prize winner will be announced in the NCJ. We have a limit of two weekly prizes per person per season.

The odds of winning are based on the number of entries received. Decisions of the judges will be final.

Make sure you get your entry form in before the deadline. Late entries will not be accepted.
