DOT429 AND FIAT LAUNCH THE “WHAT DRIVES YOU?” COMPETITION


dot429, the premier online and in-person professional network for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, just launched the inspirational "What Drives You?" competition, sponsored by FIAT.

On the new "What Drives You?" section of dot429.com, members can learn what drives some of the trailblazing luminaries of the LGBT community – then create their own entry by answering the five "What Drives You?" questions:

What do you do -- and why? Which quality or talent makes you most successful? Who are the three people who most inspire you -- and why? What are you most passionate about? What drives you to succeed?

Finalists will be selected by a reader vote and winners will be selected by a dot429 panel. The grand prize is a trip for two to New York City to be pampered at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, feted by a dot429 Ambassador, and attend dot429's Straight Talk Conference in March, 2012.

One lucky voter, and guest, who joins dot429 and votes for their favorite entry will also be randomly selected to win a VIP trip to New York courtesy of dot429 and FIAT.

At dot429's Straight Talk Conference, pioneering professionals from the fields of technology, entertainment, media, design and politics come together to discuss topics that are meaningful to the LGBTA community.
