Orrville, Ohio – For generations, the Folgers® Jingle has been a welcome tune in the homes of Americans. This year, Grammy® nominated country music singer-songwriter Chris Young has partnered with Folgers® Coffee to inspire musicians to follow their dreams by putting their own spin on the iconic jingle and entering their version into the Folgers® Jingle Contest.

From January 30, 2017 through February 20, 2017, individuals can submit a video at Folgers.com of their unique musical performance of the jingle for an opportunity to win a mentoring session with Chris Young. One grand-prize winner will receive $25,000.

“The Folgers Jingle is an iconic tune that has lived in my memory since childhood,” said Chris Young, singer-songwriter. “I’m excited to be a part of this year’s Folgers Jingle Contest which gives up-and-coming musicians an opportunity to showcase their musical talent and look forward to mentoring the finalists on their Folgers Jingle submissions.”
