Finalists of the 4th Annual Green Wedding Giveaway to Be in the Hands of Maine’s Smartphone Users
Clay Hill Farm partners with Cardagin Networks to host giveaway voting on mobile app

York, Maine – The Green Wedding Giveaway is every couple’s dream – an environmentally-sound occasion in a breathtaking setting for 75 guests would make any bride and groom giddy, but add the not-so-small detail that the whole affair is free and you’ve got a grand slam; and for the first time, voting for the winner will not just take place online but also on Cardagin Network’s mobile app.

Award-winning restaurant and bird-sanctuary, Clay Hill Farm has partnered with Cardagin Networks, a mobile loyalty and advertising leader, to promote the annual giveaway via locals’ smartphones. After the initial nomination process, which is occurring now through January 2012, anyone can partake in the process of crowning the 2012 winners during public voting in February.

Mobile voters simply download the Cardagin app and click on the “Green Wedding Giveaway from Clay Hill Farm” mobile storefront to vote for the finalists. As the votes are tallied, finalists accumulate points through Cardagin’s one-of-a-kind loyalty program. Until public voting officially begins in February, the Giveaway will have a mobile storefront on the app with information about the nomination process.

“Using a mobile platform for a unique and green cause, such as the Green Wedding Giveaway, is what we are all about – being green, while saving some green,” said Rob Masri, founder and CEO of Cardagin. “Cardagin is the only platform that gives local businesses an outlet to reach and truly communicate with their customers via smartphones.”

“The Green Wedding Giveaway is more than just providing a free wedding to a environmentally-forward couple – it’s about rewarding real people making a difference,” said Jennifer Lewis-McShera, founder of Clay Hill Farm’s Green Wedding Giveaway. “Launching public voting on Cardagin is just another way to keep us all connected, so we can continue to honor couples who honor the environment. Cardagin is the perfect ‘green’ partner.”

The Grand Prize includes an all-inclusive wedding for up to 75 guests on Clay Hill Farm’s wildlife habitat and bird sanctuary in July 2012. The Grand Prize wedding includes wedding florals, photography, DJ, cake, formal wear, jewelry, invitations, videography, rehearsal brunch and so much more, provided by the more than 30 local sponsors. Winners will be announced the first week of March.
