Saturn fans invited to “Kiss My Astra” in online photo contest

The best photo entry wins a fuel-efficient 2008 Saturn Astra XR

DETROIT – Saturn today launched the “Kiss My Astra” national photo contest, offering Saturn fans an opportunity to show just how much they would love to win a new Saturn Astra.

Contestants can kiss their own Astra, a friend’s Astra or drop by any Saturn retailer and kiss their Astra, and then upload a photo of the kiss at www.ImSaturn.com. The contestant with the funniest, most creative photo – as selected by the online Saturn community – will win a 2008 Saturn XR 5-door.

“Saturn vehicles have always inspired feelings of passion from our owners, and the Astra is no exception,” says Matt Armstrong, Saturn car marketing manager. “With the ‘Kiss My Astra’ photo contest, Astra fans can share their public displays of affection for this fuel-efficient, great-looking new car.”

To be eligible, contestants must log on and join the ImSaturn online network. In September, a group of “Astra-ologists” from Saturn will select 20 finalists. Visitors and members of ImSaturn.com will then cast their votes for the best “Kiss My Astra” photo.
