Show Volume XIX Issue X The Ogden Valley news Page 11 September 1, 2011 New Reality Web Series Seeks Frugal Contestants: Contestants compete to win $10,000! Calling all tightwads; your frugal habits are about to pay off! Cheapster, a new reality web series presented by Zions Bank, announced today that nominations will now be accepted for young adults ages 18 to 26 from Utah and Idaho to compete for a chance to win $10,000. To qualify as a Cheapster contender, contestants must submit anecdotes and examples of their truly tightwad behavior at <www.Cheapster.tv> “Our goal with Cheapster is to capture the challenges and benefits of sticking to a budget, while adding the excitement of a reality show competition,” said Brad Herbert, Vice President and Emerging Market Manager of Zions Bank. “Zions Bank is dedicated to educating our customers on healthy financial habits, and helping them understand that thoughtful money management contributes to a lifetime of financial success. We look forward to this program being a fun and effective way to communicate that message.” Ten contestants will be selected through casting calls and public votes on Facebook. Challenges will then be filmed and posted to the internet during which participants complete thrifty tasks with predetermined funds on a Zions Bank debit card. Upon completion of the challenges, contestants will be scored on creativity and frugality as determined by the amount of money remaining on their debit card and a panel of judges. Each round, the lowest scoring participant will be eliminated. At the conclusion of the series, the last remaining contestant will be named the ultimate Cheapster winner and receive a cash prize of $10,000. Contestants eliminated during the show will keep the money they saved while competing in challenges. The deadline for contestant nominations is September 15. Casting calls will be held later in the month at university and college locations in Utah and Idaho. Contestant nominations, explanation video, casting call scheduling, and official rules are available at <www.Cheapster.tv> You may also follow Cheapster at Facebook.com/CheapsterTV and at Cheapstertv.
