“Are You Dickey’s Biggest Fan?” contest on Facebook asks fans to submit photos wearing their favorite team jersey while holding a Dickey’s Big Yellow Cup. The winner will celebrate with a $500 gift card to use at any Dickey’s Barbecue location. The Twitter contest asks fans to list in 140 characters or less why they are Dickey’s biggest fan including the hashtag  #teamdickeys in their entries.
