Pioneer launches "Here's to Hometowns" contest

$200,000 to be given to local communities across Eastern Canada

Mississauga, ON - July 23, 2018 -- In the spirit of giving back, Pioneer is launching "Here's to Hometowns," a new contest where four individuals from across Eastern Canada will each receive $50,000 to support a project in their community.

Pioneer believes in farmers, their communities and the future generations to come and is therefore asking entrants to submit a short video outlining their community project, and how the community will benefit from this grant. It is also important to highlight the contributions each entrant is making in their community.

"Pioneer is passionate about the communities we serve and our growers, we want to show the hard work and passion they have for their communities through these videos," says Jeff Loessin, marketing lead for Pioneer® brand products. "In recognition of that commitment, we are giving $50,000 to deserving local projects."

Communities may become more engaged in the contest during the voting period by rallying together for support to help their project win $50,000. "Here's to Hometowns" is open to residents from Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada.

Starting July 19, 2018, residents from across Eastern Canada can submit their hometown video online at www.herestohometowns.ca.

The deadline for submissions is October 19, 2018. Once all submissions have been reviewed, the voting period will commence on November 13, 2018.
