PHOTOS: Senior ‘Prom-Posal’ Scavenger Hunt Wins NewCanaanite.com Contest

NewCanaanite.com is happy to announce the winner of its first annual “Prom-posal” Photo Contest for the Senior Prom. New Canaan High School senior Chase Jansen asked out his date, sophomore Freia Mierendorf, through an involved scavenger hunt that started at a Burtis Avenue business and finished at Irwin park—see photos. Jansen wins a $50 gift certificate that’s good at dozens of New Canaan businesses. His entry was deemed best based on the criteria of creativity, humor and originality, as per a panel of judges convened by the New Canaanite editors that included representatives from the New Canaan Chamber of Commerce. We’ve included honorable mention finalists for this year’s Senior Prom-posal contest in the gallery, too.
