The Grand Prize? Patch will whisk the winner to New York or Los Angeles for a three days/two nights trip for two that includes a meet-and-greet with Heidi, plus a donation of $1031 to a local charity of the winner's choice.

Nine runners up will also get a $1031 donation from Patch to a local charity of their choice.
