"We expect to see both humorous and endearing entries conveying the experience of sharing wardrobes. Whether it's one or two favorite pieces or an entire closet that the two of you swap, we want to hear about it."

In addition to the grand prize winner, eBay and Family Circle will also give away prizes for most viral and highest scoring entries. The most viral winners, chosen from the top 100 entries that were shared the most times across the Internet, will receive $1,000 ($500 for mother, $500 for daughter) in a PayPal account to buy fashionable new wardrobes on eBay. Additionally, one of the top 100 highest scoring entries, based on user feedback, will also win $1,000 ($500 for mother, $500 for daughter) in a PayPal account.

"Mothers and daughters have always known that borrowing each other's clothes is a great way to expand their wardrobes," said Constance White, eBay Style Director. "I'm looking forward to using my expertise to provide solutions to the grand prize-winning team and help them choose a new shareable wardrobe from the huge selection of clothing, shoes and accessory items available on eBay."

Brands and agencies use the Brickfish platform to launch online advertising and marketing campaigns targeted at the social networking audience.

Women everywhere will get the chance to share their memorable experiences with thousands of others across hundreds of social networks," said Brickfish CEO Brian Dunn.
