In addition to accessing up-to-date content (e.g., maintenance tips, how-to advice, sustainability information, and other educational insights), U.S. contractors, architects, engineers, and other commercial roofing industry professionals can enter the Sika Sarnafil Virtual Scavenger Hunt contest on Facebook for a chance to win dozens of prizes, including 12 Amazon Kindles.
Sika Sarnafil’s Virtual Scavenger Hunt will be held over four weeks with four scavenger hunts, each open for one week from Tuesday, 1:00 pm ET to Sunday at 11:59 pm ET.

In each hunt, the first three eligible players to submit their “treasure” successfully will be awarded an Amazon Kindle. The next twelve players each week to submit their “treasure” successfully will receive a $15.00 Amazon gift card.
