Heineken USA is going to celebrate Black History Month with a creative twist—the alcohol brand is inviting its loyal fans to take part in its Black History Month Art competition for a chance to get their pieces showcased as part the brand’s themed marketing campaign, which will include national print, digital, in-store point of sale, and out of home advertising in 2013, and win $5,000.
