Official Rules for Entry

The Pear Bureau Northwest's "Perfect Pairs" promotional program is a consumer focused program taking place at participating retailers throughout the United States during the month of February 2008. Since USA Pears can be paired with a wide range of food items to create wonderful taste combinations, this contest invites consumers to tell us their favorite food or food item to eat with pears. At the same time, it enters the person into the “Perfect Pairs” contest. The rules for qualified entry are:

• To enter the "Perfect Pairs" contest purchasers must pick up entry forms at a participating retailer.
• All entrants need to be 18 years of age or older to be eligible to enter and be able to provide legal proof of age in order to be awarded a contest prize.
• Entrants need to write the perfect food item, dish or recipe that they think best pairs with USA Pears on the back of the entry form. Longer responses than space will allow on the form can be provided on a separate card or sheet of paper.
• To be officially qualified, a shopping receipt showing a purchase of three (3) pounds of USA Pears or more from a single shopping visit at a participating retailer in February must be included along with the entry form.
• All entries need to be mailed to the Pear Bureau Northwest’s main office:
