CoCo Contests
Coco Chanel has won the hearts of millions of individuals through her clothing, fragrances, accessories, personal beliefs, and ambitious drive. Following her death, many companies are developing contests in Chanel’s name to allow lucky winners the opportunity to experience a “Chanel” inspired prize.
These contest vary far and wide regarding the rules, requirements, and prizes; yet, they all in some way honor the late Coco. I have compiled a list of past, present, and future contests associated in some way with Chanel.
To promote a film portraying Chanel’s life called Coco Before Chanel, one French magazine is held a Chanel sweepstakes that ended in March. The contest was organized by FrenchGuide Magazine, but was limited to United States Citizens. To enter, any U.S. citizen simply had to enter some personal information into a drawing. The grand prize was a

Another contest, asks those entering the contest to describe what their ideal Coco Chanel Rouge Lipstick color is their favorite and why. This contest appears less official than most contests, yet it still gives viewers a chance to win Chanel’s newest lipstick. Take a look at the video posted below.
Another contest by Polyvore, asked individuals to submit collages of Chanel Items. Here are the first, second, and third place winners.

In total, there were 111 collage entries for this specific contest. It is interesting to look at all the entries and see how they all embody Chanel, but also have different looks.
I even found a contest on a wedding website that offers a prize of Chanel tattoos.

Not only will five lucky winners get a free sheet of Chanel tattoos, but one of these individuals will also win the following book.

I am sure that Chanel’s influence over individuals and inspiration for all types of contests is not going to be short-lived. In fact, I am guessing that we will be seeing more and more contests inspired by Chanel.
