And the Grand Prize Goes to…Our Gloucester Girl Courtney!

THIS JUST IN: Courtney Reid of Gloucester won the Grand Prize in the Folger’s Jingle Contest in NYC this week! Click here for the scoop! A big thank you if you voted for Courtney in the preliminary rounds — and congratulations to Courtney, as this high-pressure final round was all on her. The winner was chosen by music industry insider and well-known personality Kara DioGuardi, who clearly knows her stuff, as she judged Courtney to be the winner (from over 3,000 entries).

Go Courtney! She Made the Final Five!

Remember Gloucester singer-songwriter Courtney Reid’s bid to win the Folgers Jingle contest with her original song? Thanks no doubt in part to GMG voters (who could, in good conscience, vote for her great entry), Courtney is in the top five of the contest out of thousands of entries – now it’s down to a live Grand Audition competition in NYC on June 16th. Keep pulling for Courtney — you can follow along and see her video submission if you haven’t already by checking out this link. But fair warning: you’re gonna want a cup of coffee after you see it. Yes, her jingle is just that good.
