IPFW Alum Needs YOUR Vote! Dustin Miller Finalist in Photo-card Contest

(Fort Wayne, March 11, 2008) -- Dustin Miller is a May 2004 Indiana University—Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) graduate with degrees in Anthropology and Spanish. Right now he lives in Dallas, Texas, and is doing graduate work at the University of Texas at Arlington. He is also one of 67 finalists selected by Hallmark Cards Inc. in the company's "Your Pets" nation-wide online contest. Millers photo card is of his Jack Russell Terrier puppy, Sophia, and is accompanied by the caption: "Sophia Inquires."

According to Hallmark, Miller and the 66 finalists will receive $250. In addition, each of their card designs will be produced by Hallmark and sold online and in more than 13,000 participating retail outlets beginning June 16, 2008.

The winner will be selected through an open online voting process. Miller is asking his IPFW family and friends to rally behind him and vote for his picture of Sophie by going to www.Hallmark.com/you. You can vote once a day from now through Sept. 14, 2008. One grand prize winner will be selected whose card will be available for sale online for at least a year and may become part of another card collection. The grand prize also includes a $1,000 cash prize and trip to Hallmark (with the award-winning pet!) for a professional photo shoot and workshop with Hallmarks creative team. IPFW faculty and students can rally behind Miller and vote (once a day) starting now through Sept. 14, 2008, by logging on to Hallmark.com/you .
