Competition to Combat the Recession

PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release

A New Zealand-based publisher has recently announced a competition aimed at helping ordinary people get through the recession. The competition is open to anyone who has an idea, big or small, that might help others cope in an increasingly difficult economic environment.

The best entry, judged by the publisher, will win a prize of $500, with two runners-up receiving prizes of $300 and $200 for second and third respectively.

Of the remaining entries, the top three hundred or so will be collated into an e-book called “Infinite Resilience – Recession Survival Tips” and sold online to a global audience.

Publisher spokesperson Brian Phillips said, “Politicians are making decisions aimed at eventually ending the recession, but that isn’t going to help those who are struggling now. All going well, Infinite Resilience will fill that gap. With everyone’s help, it will give people ideas they can use to pay their rent and put food on the table.

“Entry is free, and we’re hoping for more than a thousand ideas. If we get more than that, even better; we’d be very happy to publish the book in two volumes. But you have to be quick, because the competition closes on June 30 2009.”

If you have an idea that can help others save money, generate additional income or otherwise protect themselves from the recession’s worst effects, you can enter the competition today at http://www.infiniteresilience.com .

You can also pre-purchase a copy of the e-book from the website at a rate not offered anywhere else in the world, by entering the words, “New Zealand” (without the quotation marks) in the field labelled, “Special discount code”.
