Get involved in the voting round of the "Mash Destruction Contest." To spread the word about a cool product meant to make mom's life easier, the Ore-Ida brand asked their kids to draw up fun new ways to mash real chunks of potatoes. The inspired submissions rolled in--many kids were vying for a chance to win $5,000 in the contest. Take a look at a few of the creative ideas.

Submissions are closed and it's on to the next phase. Now through April 15, America can vote for their favorite idea at www.mashdestruction.com to help one child get a step closer to the $5,000 grand prize, and five runners-up to the $1,000 prize. The 20 ideas with the most votes are judged by a panel of '??e-steamed'? Ore-Ida potato experts to determine the winners. The Ore-Ida panel may also select a handful of masher ideas that catch their attention and bring them to life in online webisodes.

We think this way to earn fame is way cooler than your child landing a reality show. So head to www.mashdestruction.com/ to vote now through April 15th on the finalists.

Contest winners announced on or around May 10th. For official rules go here www.mashdestruction.com/Common/Learn
