NORTH AMERICA - ’Tis the season to give—in hope, in gratitude, and in merriment. And we can’t think of anything much merrier than a contest and yearbook to see what the produce industry might have hidden in its holiday closet. Yes, we are hosting an Ugly Sweater Contest!

Of the submissions, two will ultimately be selected, one each from the buy-side and supply-side of our industry, for $100 cash. While the more festive the better, if you are lacking in tinsel and bows, a sweater that you think might be worthy of an Urkel costume will certainly suffice. The more variety, the more we all come out winners.

No lumps of coal here, all photos will be displayed in our Holiday Yearbook, so get to trimming, hot-gluing, and strike a pose.

Please send your yearbook photo submissions to [email protected] by Friday, December 24, at 3 p.m. PST, and the final winners will be selected before we ring in the New Year.

We cannot wait to see what we are about to be served by this unique industry that always puts the “play” in work hard, play harder!
