COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- White Castle has issued a last-call for entries for the annual Cravers Hall of Fame Contest. The deadline for entries is July 31, 2012, and Cravers have just one month left to submit original stories about why White Castle is meaningful to them and the extreme lengths to which they will go to satisfy their cravings. Winning Cravers are invited to Columbus, Ohio to attend the Hall of Fame induction ceremony in October.

'We want to recognize the ultimate Cravers and the extremes they go to satisfy their Crave. The Hall of Fame is the ideal way to acknowledge the accomplishments of Cravers,' said Jamie Richardson, vice president of White Castle. 'The level of devotion evident in entries seems more intense each and every year, but the team at White Castle and our panel of judges are eager to read all the story submissions, ranging from sentimental to silly and heartwarming to funny.'
