    • Hi Mark, you should nominate your dad. It only takes a couple minutes. I think the easiest way is to use your phone and record a short video nominating your dad, then upload it to Instagram. If you don’t have an account, create one for the nomination … then when the contest is done you simply delete it if you don’t want an account anymore.

  3. As the mom and dad of my daughter, I would like to win this to give to my daughter who lost her dad two years ago

    • Hi Colleen, sorry about your loss. I was the dad and mom to my two kids after my wife passed away. The article does say dad or father figure! Tell your daughter to create a video nominating you. The article describes how this contest works.
      Good Luck

  4. I would love to nominate my husband as this is his first Father’s Day. He’s sacrificed a lot since the birth of our daughter and is working hard so I would love this gift for him.

    • Hi Cindy, I explained in a comment above the easiest way to participate by creating a video on Instagram. I have created some Tiktok videos but feel Instagram is much easier.

      Good luck

  5. my children and i used to game together over everything from atari toNintendo to Supernintendo to playstations and xboxes of every generation. and live action computer gaming. we have enjoyed a lot of games over the years like mappy land, zombies ate my neighbors, ( which i defeated!!!) dessert falcon, space invaders, pacman, sam fisher, also known undercover as fam shisher, gta, donky kong mario brother duck hunt and so many fun hours spent gaing together. it was fun to get together after a live match in a game of frontline force a hlaflife mod like counterstrike sort of. to talk about it all on chat channles like i.r.c. also known as m.i.r.c.
    Gaming platforms can cost as much as a vechile if you really wanted to make a powerful gaming computer.

    The Playstaion was powerful when it first came out and i remember trying to win a PS 2 in a contest i entered every day for 60 days but i won second prize which was a ‘Dreamcast” remember those! yea i won that instead of the covedeted PS2. so having so many great gaming memories with my children is such good ones . especially the day i defeated Zombies ate my neighbors and i was overjoyed . when my children saw that i bet the game finally we all cheered screamed yelled lol celebrated and some of my children got on the phone with their bests friends to say we beat the game finally. great memories to cherish and gaming is always a greatway to stay in touch too becuase you can all live game and live chat in game with your loved ones when you are apart. its a great time gamers have a really good time and its been so fun to share in these game systems with my growing family back when it all started up to today. happy fathers day to all the cool dads.

    • Hi Mike
      I hope you submitted a video to nominate him. The article explains the requirements for this contest. Each contest we do is a little different; this one requires a nomination video on Instagram or Tiktok or Facebook.

      good luck
