SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - The Parker’s Companies is holding a “Why I Love Parker’s” Facebook Video Contest, which will run Feb. 1 through April 12.

The Facebook video contest will award free gas for one year for three grand prize winners, as well as $100 Parker’s gift cards for seven finalists.

“We love our customers so much that we wanted to devise a fun and creative way to reward them for being loyal Parker’s fans,” said Greg Parker, president and CEO of The Parker Companies. “The video contest allows our customers to show off their unique personalities and compete for a chance to be one of our three grand prize winners and win free gas for one year.”

To participate you must create a short video that creatively captures why you love Parker’s and inspire others to love Parker’s.

Once the submission period ends, an official voting period will take place between April 1 and April 12. Facebook users can vote once per day per entry for the duration of the contest.

Five finalists will be determined by the top number of “Love It” votes received by Parker’s Facebook fans. The remaining five finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges selected by the Parker’s team. There will be 10 finalists from which the three grand prize winners will be selected and judged on the following criteria:

●     Originality of the content
