COLLEGE FOOTBALL FANS FACE OFF IN NEW SELFIE PROMOTION

Now through October 31, college football fans can enter two ways. The first is by visiting the Amway booth at select college football games. Fans can take a selfie with the AFCA Coaches’ Trophy and upload it to their social accounts using the hashtag #SuperFanSelfie. Fans can also enter using the online super fan selfie generator found on www.amwaysuperfanselfie.com and sharing the photo to social accounts using the hashtag #SuperFanSelfie.

After sharing socially, all participants must register by filling out the entry form online. Official rules for the sweepstakes can be found here.

The Coaches’ Trophy, presented by Amway will make a total of 10 stops on campuses across the country, and can be seen this weekend (Sept. 20) in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and in Seattle, Washington on September 27. The remaining stops for the Trophy Tour will be determined during the season, and fans are encouraged to follow the tour on social media at www.facebook.com/CoachesTrophy, and on Twitter @CoachesTrophy.

The Trophy Tour has been made possible because of the AFCA’s new partnership with leading direct seller Amway. Announced in February, Amway partnered with AFCA and USA TODAY Sports to be the title sponsor of the Amway Coaches Poll (formerly the USA TODAY Coaches Poll), as well as the presenting sponsor of the AFCA Coaches’ Trophy. The partnership has also resulted in the creation of the first-ever Amway Fan Poll, where fans can vote for their choices as the top teams in the country and see a side-by-side comparison to what the coaches voted in the Amway Coaches Poll.

The AFCA Coaches’ Trophy, presented by Amway, featuring the iconic Waterford© Crystal football, will be awarded to the No. 1-ranked team, and national champion, in the Amway Coaches Poll following the conclusion of the college football season.

Additional information about the Amway Coaches’ Poll can be found by following @AmwayUS on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram or by visiting Amway.com/coachespoll.
