The company has also launched a Web-based contest for Boston Acoustics and Denon Electronics in which consumers will be able to share homemade videos and photo essays for a chance to win a Home Theater Makeover featuring electronics gear, furniture, and installation worth more than $17,000. The Makeshifters contest includes the participation of both consumer electronics giant Circuit City and furniture company La-Z-Boy.
Consumers will be able to enter the contest via a specially created web site, www.makeshifters.com, where theyll be able to post homemade videos and photo essays that tell personal home theater horror stories about their makeshift home entertainment systems. Such makeshift systems might include a mix-and-match of outdated components (for example: a 13-inch CRT television hooked up to your grandfathers 1960s-era stereo system, with PA speakers left over from your high-school garage band days).
In addition to being able to share their home videos and photos at the makeshifters.com web site, visitors will also be able to utilize Web 2.0 social networking features to interact by tagging, rating and reviewing entries, as well as virally spreading them, linking them to other sites and embedding them in emails or blogs. Entrants with the highest rated videos will be rewarded with a variety of prizes. The grand prize winner will receive a total Home Theater Makeover that will include a high-performance flat-screen TV from Circuit City, premium electronic components from Denon and a complete Boston Acoustics surround-sound speaker package. Circuit City will provide the Grand Prize winner with a variety of DVD movies and music CDs, and send its professional FiredogSM technicians to install the system in the winners home. The First Runner Up prize in the video contest will feature a La-Z-Boy recliner and a $500 Circuit City shopping spree; and four third-prize winners will each receive selected home entertainment components from Denon and Boston Acoustics. (The total value of all prizes is over $25,000.)
