The mom with the winning story will receive a Mother's Day VIZIO Home Theater Gift Package. Consumers are invited to help VIZIO determine winners by logging on and voting for their favorite story.

Since the focus is on celebrating moms everywhere, VIZIO is committed to bringing this experience to life, honoring the women that give back to their families on a daily basis. "Most of us know who our biggest supporter is. So, for Mother's Day, we want sons and daughters across the country to tell us about their amazing moms," said Lily Knowles, Vice President of Product Marketing, VIZIO. "We're excited to be teaming up with DreamWorks Animation to pay tribute to moms across the country and can't wait for our VIZIO fans to help us weigh in on which mom is most deserving of the Ultimate Mother's Day Home Theater Package."

The four individuals who nominate the winning mothers will win a VIZIO 29" Razor LED Smart TV (E291i). In addition to a complete VIZIO home theater, the Grand Prize winning mom will receive four tickets to the premiere of "Turbo," the latest film from DreamWorks Animation in theaters July 17th. "Turbo" is a high-velocity 3D comedy about an ordinary snail who dares to dream big - and fast. After a freak accident infuses him with the power of super-speed, Turbo kicks into overdrive and embarks on an extraordinary journey to achieve the seemingly impossible: competing in the world's fastest race. With the help of his tricked-out streetwise snail crew, this ultimate underdog puts his heart and shell on the line to prove that no dream is too big, and no dreamer too small. The "Win It For Mom" contest will be promoted via VIZIO social channels. Submitters are encouraged to share on their own social networks using the hash tag #WinItForMom to promote their unique story. Once winners are selected, the winning submitters will be notified and the stage will be set to "surprise" the Grand Prize winning mom in their hometown.
