Photo Flash: WINTUK Hosts 'Fall Fest' in NYC

From October 16 through November 9, 2010, ‘snow' fans (18 years and older) are encouraged to enter the $1 Million Snow Day by visiting cirquedusoleil.com/wintuksnowday where 100 Wintuk winners will share $1 million and be awarded $10,000 each if snow falls in New York City on November 17, 2010 to coincide with the show's opening day. Snow must fall in New York City's Central Park to be officially evaluated for participants to win.

On the website, participants can also download an interactive "snow note" to be shared with friends and family to encourage them to join the winter fun. The ‘snow note' makes snow "fall" on your desktop through social media applications.

On November 10, 100 winners will be randomly selected and announced to, give them an entire week to keep an eye on the weather forecast and their fingers crossed in hopes of a snowfall on November 17. As an added bonus, all 100 winners will receive two complimentary tickets to a private dress rehearsal of Wintuk.

The $1 Million Snow Day campaign is open to all US residents (excluding Florida) and begins Saturday, October 16 and ends on Wednesday, November 9 at 11:59pm PST. The winners will be randomly selected and announced on November 10.
