RACINE, Wis., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting today, Glade fans can join their favorite celebrities, fashion designers and home decor experts and express their personal style with the Glade® Design and Shine™ Contest. The contest asks people to virtually design their own Glade® Scented Oil Candle Decorative Glass Holder for a chance to win $10,000 and have their design sold in stores.

Giuliana Rancic of "E! News" said her design inspiration was: "The fresh and calming sight of early morning sunshine with dew on the ground and the sound of birds chirping." Fashion Expert Robert Verdi used his favorite travel bag as inspiration, stating, "I love the fresh smell of air-dried laundry -- it's like taking a little piece of home with me when I travel." Additionally, Evette Rios of "The Rachel Ray Show" dubbed her design, "Outta Sight." Evette's design inspiration: "I surrounded the candle with 60's pinwheel shapes to retro echo all those cool patterns the flame throws."

Glade is encouraging fans to find their own inspiration and enter the contest. Between September 1 and October 31, 2010 contestants can go to GladeDesignandShine.com to view these inspirational celebrity designs and create their own. Entering is easy; simply follow the steps outlined on the site; read the official contest rules; and mix and match patterns, shapes and colors to personalize a design.

Two grand prize winners will receive $10,000 and their designs will be produced and sold in stores nationwide beginning in 2011. There will also be six first place winners who will receive $750 each.
