Parsippany, N.J.-based Jackson Hewitt Tax Service is launching a contest asking taxpayers how use their tax refund.

The contest includes a "Big Check" page on Facebook. Now through April 10 using the special contest application on the "Big Check" page, fans can submit their stories and be entered for a chance to win a $3,000 big check. From April 1-15, fans of the "Big Check" Facebook page can vote to select a winner. The winner will be announced by May 3.

In addition to the "Big Check"-branded presence on Facebook, Jackson Hewitt will also be using other social media channels, including a "Big Check" Twitter feed, to promote the contest. This contest is an extension of the company's 2010 "Big Check" marketing campaign.--Tanya Irwin
