Running April 1 through June 30, the sweepstakes will allow participants to earn prize entries by submitting photos of their completed tasks right from their phones. The more challenges completed, the more entries earned, and the more prizes and types of equipment participants are eligible to win each month, including a grand prize of Troy-Bilt's array of outdoor power equipment worth over $3,000. Participants can also enter by submitting a mail-in entry.

"Troy-Bilt created Yard Games because our mission is to make yardwork more enjoyable – so what better way to do that than by turning yardwork into a game?" said Barbara Roueche, Troy-Bilt brand manager. "Yard Games will build on the inherent feeling of satisfaction and victory that comes from finishing a project by adding tangible prizes and a community of people working and playing along with you. We'll also share pro tips and easy hacks for each challenge on the Yard Games site and across our social channels – one more way we're making yardwork less of a chore."

Participants sign up at yardgames.troybilt.com, and each month during April, May and June, Troy-Bilt will unlock seven challenges for participants to complete.

Yard Games is the latest addition to Troy-Bilt's arsenal of tools for making yardwork better and more enjoyable, including:
