Do you love bargains?! Do you love saving money?! Most importantly, do you LOVE shopping at Ollie's Bargain Outlet?! If so, you could win $300 and the chance to appear in an upcoming Ollie's TV commercial! All you have to do is tell us why you love shopping at Ollie's. Yup! It's that simple. 

The commercial itself will be similar to this "Ollie's - Who We Are" video, and we are looking for FIVE Ollie's superfans to appear in the commercial and tell us why they love getting GOOD STUFF CHEAP at Ollie's. 

Importantly, you MUST be able to travel to the Ollie's location in Harrisburg, PA for the commercial shoot on Tuesday, May 2nd. If you are not available that day and/or cannot provide your own transportation to Harrisburg, your submission will be disqualified. In addition, you MUST be willing to sign Tongal's standard talent release in order to appear in the commercial. 

When it comes to your submission, the main thing we are looking for is your enthusiasm for shopping at Ollie's. Did Ollie's help you save a ton of money on something special? Tell us about it! Do you love all the puns and jokes inside the store? Let us know! You CAN submit as a family, and you CAN submit on behalf of someone else (like your Dad or your grandma). Regardless of who you are submitting for, that person MUST be available to film in Harrisburg on Tuesday, May 2nd, if selected.

To enter the Ollie's Superfan Contest:

1. You must be 18 years or older, and a US resident.
2. Log-in to, or create a Tongal Account.
3. Fill out the required information on the Submission Form through the "Submissions" tab of this project page.
4. Optionally, you may submit a video telling us your Ollie's story. You can shoot this video on your phone, either horizontally or vertically. Please upload it to the Submission Form in .mp4 format.
5. Then click the "Submit" button.
6. If selected, a Tongal producer will reach out to you about next steps.

If selected, you will be expected to provide your own wardrobe for the shoot, with input and guidance from the commercial director. Your total compensation for appearing in the commercial will be $300. If you submit as a family and your group is selected, each member of your group will be paid $300. 

The Ollie's Superfan Contest is open for submissions from 3:00pm ET on Monday, April 10th, 2023, to 3:00pm ET on Monday, April 17th, 2023. Submissions not received within this time period will be disqualified. See Official Rules and requirements for eligibility and other requirements.
