Upper Deck believes in working to inspire fathers to collect with their kids, especially around the Father’s Day holiday. As Father’s Day approaches, most dads are hoping they would receive a unique collectible from Upper Deck Authenticated and many families combine efforts to give dad a gift as a group. There is another option to get dad an amazing signed memorabilia item this time of year which will not cost you anything through Upper Deck’s 2014 Father of the Year promotion!
Upper Deck is looking for one great dad to honor as the Father of the Year for 2014 in the U.S.A. and Canada. That’s right, there are TWO opportunities to win this year with specialized product for each country! The winners we select will receive acclaim being featured on the Upper Deck Blog and bragging rights with an Upper Deck Father of the Year trophy. Additionally, the winners will also score a jaw-dropping 25th Anniversary premium blow-up card (18″x24″) autographed by Ken Griffey Jr. (U.S.A. winner) or Wayne Gretzky (Canada winner). Also included in that special prize package will be several boxes/packs of new Upper Deck products!
The Father of the Year in Canada will score a sweet signed premium blow-up card by Wayne Gretzky and the winner in the U.S.A. will get one from Ken Griffey Jr.
To nominate a father you feel is deserving of the title (yes dads, you can nominate yourselves), please email us at [email protected] with the subject line “2014 UD Father of the Year Nomination” with the following three pieces of information:
- Please write out eight sentences or less as to why you feel this dad is deserving of Upper Deck’s title of Father of the Year.
