Cintas launched the campaign in 2011 to recognize individuals in the United States and Canada who withstand the toughest winter working conditions. Contestants are encouraged to share their stories and explain why Carhartt workwear is essential to their jobs at www.cintas.com/carharttcoldcrew for a chance to win free merchandise and a grand prize trip for two (destination to be announced). Entries are being accepted now through Feb. 28, 2014, at which time Cintas and Carhartt will select finalists and begin public voting at the contest website.

Cintas noted that the contest is a great way to promote your company and represent other hard-working professionals in your industry.
