Through the challenge, consumers are encouraged to create, name and share an original strawberry summer snack on Instagram using #GetSnackingChallenge, according to a news release.

A monthly winner will be selected for the best strawberry snack, along with two runners-up, advancing for a chance to win the grand prize. The Strawberry Snack of the Summer will be selected by popular vote from the top three snacks for each of five months of the challenge, according to the release.
