Photo Contest Asks “Do you have a ‘fuglytv’?
Posted on | July 25, 2009 | Comments Off
There’s one in every family: an old TV that’s big and heavy, in a cheesy wood cabinet with knobs and dials and no remote control.
The 'Fugliest' TV in America Photo Contest
Yet before you toss it to the curb, an on-line reseller of home theater gear has a better idea: take and upload a digital snapshot of yesterday’s ‘old-school TV’ and you could be the winner of a brand new 40-inch 1080p digital TV.
For a chance to win a new digital TV that doesn’t require a digital TV converter, consumers can visit a special website, www.FuglyTVs.com to register and upload a digital snapshot of their old TV set.
A key requirement: the TV must display a picture from a current TV show to demonstrate it is in still-working condition. Complete contest rules can be found at www.FuglyTVs.com.
The winner of the contest, the TV set voted America’s Fugliest, will receive a brand-new 40-inch Samsung 1080p Digital TV courtesy of www.BestBuyPCS.com. Consumers can visit the site regularly to see the “gallery of shame” and vote for America’s least attractive TV set.
Note: to find a local resource to recycle an old TV set, consumers can visit earth911.com/electronics/television/ or http://epa.gov/osw/conserve/materials/ecycling/tv-challenge.htm.
