Since the "Show Us What You Love" Sweepstakes started last month, Valpak has had an overwhelming response. Photographs of adorable babies, furry puppies and sunny beaches filled with families – have been sent in through the Valpak Facebook contest.

Consumers have a chance to share the places, people, and things that give them the warm fuzzies, for a chance to win cash in the first ever Facebook promotion featured on the front of the Valpak envelope.

The promotion continues through March 8 and will award two grand prize winners $1,000 each to spend on what they love. In addition, 50 entrants will instantly win $50 during the sweepstakes period.

This is Valpak's first ever envelope promotion that drives consumers to Facebook to enter to win.  Fans submit photos as part of their entry and they could be featured on the Valpak Facebook page and on Valpak.com as the fan photo of the week.
