# Write An Essay About Pet Love And Win A Mansion In Florida By thischick | Published 2008-04-09 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/write-an-essay-about-pet-love-and-win-a-mansion-in-florida References: [ocalamansion](http://www.ocalamansion.com/mansion.html) Clementia Marie Giovanetti is a woman with a difficult task. She's been trying to sell her mansion for a cool $1.25 million bucks. But in today's depressed economic times, who has a million and a quarter bucks laying around? So Clementia (a published author) has decided to hold an [essay-writing contest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1-picasso-for-100-euros) and will award the mansion to the best entry. The essay must be about [pet love](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-love-like-crazy) to coincide with her latest published book about [her dog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4am-stories) and entries must be postmarked by July 23rd, 2008 in order to be eligible to win her beautiful home. What's the catch? Of course there's always a catch, there is a $200 entrance fee for each essay submitted and there must be no fewer than 6,250 entries received so she can recoup the $1.25 million from her home. It's a small investment for the winner of such an impressive home and she is looking into compiling the best essays to be published in a book later this year. Goog luck and happy writing! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Online Contests:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating online platforms for essay-writing contests, allowing individuals to win valuable prizes and gain exposure for their writing. - **Crowdfunding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilizing crowdfunding platforms to raise funds for selling a property or funding a creative project, making it more accessible for individuals with limited financial resources. - **Niche Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring the niche publishing market by compiling and publishing collections of essays or stories centered around specific themes or topics, catering to a target audience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Real Estate:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative strategies like essay-writing contests or crowdfunding to sell high-value properties in a challenging economic environment. - **E-publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating opportunities for self-published authors or individuals to showcase and monetize their work by compiling and publishing niche collections of essays or stories. - **Online Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Building online platforms that facilitate the organization, promotion, and management of contests and crowdfunding campaigns, providing a seamless experience for participants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chief Barketing Officer Contests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chief-barketing-officer.md) - [$75K Dreaming-Pursing Contests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-unshackling.md) - [Animal Welfare Group Grants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petco-love.md) - [Rescue Pet-Supporting Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-bunny-tryouts.md) - [Adorable Pet Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chief-snuggle-officers.md) - [Sustainable Dog Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doggie-dreamhouse.md) - [Rent-Free Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restored-italian-house.md) - [Artistic Hamburger Competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-the-burger-contest.md) - [Festive Display Contests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truly-keep-it-light-holiday-edition.md)
