CMEpalooza Sponsor Event: The Signs of Spring

In the northeastern United States perhaps more than anywhere else in the country (or maybe I’m just biased because I live here), the arrival of spring is cause of celebration. After several months of winter coats, hats, and mittens, the first warm stretch of March lets us know that our days of shorts, t-shirts, and flip flops aren’t far away. Neighbors who we haven’t seen for months come out from hibernation. Daylight drifts further and further into the evening. And at least in my neighborhood, the sweet singsong of the Ice Cream Truck punctuates the atmosphere.

Here at CMEpalooza, we wanted to celebrate spring in our own special way, by creating our special Sponsor event focused on the themes of the season. Because we are so creative, we are calling this event CMEpalooza’s Signs of Spring.

Here is how this event works:

1. Click here to download the forms you will need (if you would rather have a Word version, click here). CMEpalooza’s Signs of Spring is pretty simple. We have divided our sponsors into eight Spring-oriented categories. Within each round of clues, you have to answer one question about a sponsor. Each question ties into our Springtime theme. Some clues are a bit more of a stretch than others, but just bear with me.
2. So, where do you find the answers to these questions? Well, by visiting the websites of our CMEpalooza Spring sponsors (we have links for you on our Sponsor tab). I promise that you won’t have to hunt too much to find anything. Most clues are either on the company’s homepage or one click away. The goal isn’t to make this difficult, it’s to familiarize you with our Sponsors and the amazing work they are all doing.
3. You can use the answer sheet located in the downloaded forms to complete your responses. You may submit up to three entries, but for each entry you must answer clues about different sponsors.
4. Within each entry, you must get every answer correct to qualify for our prize drawing. If the sun is out and the weather is warm when your submission arrives, maybe I’ll let you get one wrong. We’ll see.
5. Completed answer forms can be sent to me at scott@excaliburmeded.com. Make sure to include your name and professional affiliation in your email so that when we announce that you’ve won, everyone can be sufficiently jealous.

We’ll have five prize winners who will each receive a $100 Amazon gift card. Maybe you can spend it on something fun, like this snazzy getup (I’ve heard rumors that Bert is only for the coolest kids these days).

Entries will be accepted until the clock strikes 5 pm ET on Friday, April 5, so get cracking!
