I discovered this week that Nickelodeon and Nintendo are sponsoring a contest for families with the most Wii Fit spirit to compete for the title of “Wii Fit Fittest Family.” Sounds interesting doesn’t it? In order to become one of the 3 semi-finalists all contestants must submit a 2 minute video that describes why your family should be selected to compete in the Wii Fit Family Challenge. Judges will weigh all entries based on the following:
- Was the video on yopic (30%)
- Creativity (20%)
- Degree to which the candidate embraces the spirit of the Nickelodeon Brand (20%)
- Degree to which the candidate embraces the spirit of the Wii Fit Brand (30%)
If you are chosen as semi-finalist your family will receive:
- A Wii console (Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $249.99)
- A copy of Wii Fit for the Wii console (ARV: $89.99)
- Round-trip coach airfare for Semi-Finalist family (a maximum of five family members) to Orlando, Florida (ARV: $1,500.00)
- Four (4) nights/five (5) days stay at Nickelodeon Family Suites by Holiday Inn in Orlando, Florida (ARV: $1,200.00) and
- $1,000.00 in spending money for each semi-finalist family.
Sounds really good now! I think I am going to video my kids and I playing Wii Fit and send it in. So what does the Wii Fit Fitest Family receive if they win the contest? A pretty exiciting prize package if you ask me. Here’s what you get:

I hope to see you and your family in Orlando on September 15th.
