Cadbury Bunny Tryouts Are Back And 2020 Winner Lt. Dan is a Guest Judge
As 2020 saw a record demand for animal adoptions, there are even more potential contestants for this year's competition.
HERSHEY, Pa., Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pets nationwide brought us joy this past year – as coworkers, roommates, companions, and more – and to give them some much deserved recognition, Cadbury, America's top Easter brand, is inviting 'pawrents' to let their fur babies shine! Animal lovers nationwide are invited to enter their household pets in the third annual Cadbury Bunny Tryouts, (bunnytryouts.cadburyusa.com) with entries open through March 1st.
Cadbury brand is calling on a past winner – Lieutenant Dan – to kick the competition into high gear as he acts as a 2021 "guest judge." Lieutenant Dan will help narrow down the Bunny finalists and pass the coveted ears to one lucky winner. But first, his never-before-seen commercial will jumpstart the festivities with a grand debut on TV screens nationwide – get a first look here.
If our previous winner could talk, he'd say…"Woof woof," exclaims Lieutenant Dan, the adorable two-legged Coonhound from New Richmond, OH. "I am so excited that my commercial is making it onto the big screen! Being the 2020 Cadbury Clucking Bunny has been the ultimate honor for me, and I cannot wait to pass the ears on to the 2021 winner. Best of luck to all!"
America, it is up to you to help pick the next Cadbury Bunny! Voting will be open on March 10th and run through March 17th, leading up to the much-anticipated winner reveal on March 23rd. The new Cadbury Bunny will grace screens across America later this year as the new star of the iconic Cadbury Clucking Bunny commercial. The winner will also receive a $5,000 cash prize.
"Coming off a year of ample quality pet time, and a record year for animals joining new families, we are anxious to see what the competition brings," said Trevor Jakubek, Senior Associate Brand Manager, Cadbury Brand team. "We plan to make 2021 the biggest and best Cadbury Bunny Tryouts yet!"
Now it's time to turn the spotlight on these fur babies and enter them into the third annual Cadbury Bunny Tryouts (bunnytryouts.cadburyusa.com) . Tryouts are open now through March 1st and can be a chance for your pet to win fame and glory as the 2021 Cadbury Bunny.
To give back to the animals that brought us so much joy over the past year, Cadbury is continuing its work with the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®), the nation's leading animal welfare organization dedicated to helping vulnerable animals stay safe and healthy. This is the third year of this partnership and Cadbury will be making a donation of $15,000 to the ASPCA® to further their mission of protecting and caring for animals. And the time is right according the the ASPCA®, there's no doubt that the public's desire to support their local shelters by fostering and adopting vulnerable animals amid the COVID-19 crisis has been demonstrated through an enormous and unprecedented response.
"Each year, the Cadbury Bunny Tryouts showcases adorable pets from around the country, demonstrating the loving bonds between people and their pets," said Rebecca Frommer, Director, Cause Partnerships & Events, ASPCA®. "We are grateful for the generous support we've received from Cadbury over the past three years, which has helped us continue our lifesaving work to rescue and protect animals in need."
