According to a recent survey* by Hilton Garden Inn, nearly seven out of 10 Americans have created some type of ultimate 'to-do' list - with 'travel,' 'achieving a professional goal,' and 'volunteering for a cause' identified as the most popular goals. To help Americans achieve these goals, Hilton Garden Inn just launched the 'Life's Ultimate To-Do List' contest, which gives consumers the chance to make their ultimate travel 'to-do' a reality.

How would you like to win $10,000? Silly question, right? Verizon Wireless is running a "Field Testers Challenge," awarding a total of $35,000 in cash and prizes - including a $10,000 grand prize - for 60-second videos that show the wildest ways to test the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network.

Can you download a movie while boarding a plane - before the flight attendant tells you to power down? Yes, again!

Create a video up to 60 seconds long that showcases Verizon's lightning-fast download speed, skip-free connection and seamless on-the-go coverage. Make it fun. Make it clever. Field test videos should truly test the power of the 4G LTE network (note: these must be REAL tests with the REAL 4G LTE network).

Don't worry if you're not a filmmaker. You can still win a $500 random drawing for a Sharing Prize to reward people for sharing videos or news about the Field Testers Challenge.Read more
