Winner takes home $5,000 worth of Tim Hortons Coffee

OAKVILLE, ON - September 14, 2011 - Some of life's best moments are shared over a cup of great coffee.  Tim Hortons invites guests to tell their coffee stories online in the Share a Moment, Share a Coffee contest, where a winner will walk away with $5,000 worth of Tim Hortons premium coffee.

Until October 9th, Tim Hortons fans can submit their favourite memories, moments and funny stories at everycup.ca/shareamomentcontest through text, pictures, videos, even webcam, as well as on the Tim Hortons Facebook page at facebook.com/TimHortons

"Many people have their own Tim Hortons coffee story, but not necessarily a place to share it," said Glenn Hollis, VP Brand Marketing and Advertising, Tim Hortons. "This is a feel good contest and not just about a winner. I think people will genuinely enjoy reading about other guests' experiences - especially when they get to vote for their favourite."

Ten finalists will be selected by Tim Hortons and the winner will be determined by an online vote that will take place from October 17th to 30th. Complete rules and regulations can be found at www.everycup.ca/rules_contest

The Share a Moment, Share a Coffee contest supports the latest edition of Tim Hortons' national "True Stories" television advertising campaign which began this week.
