CSN Store’s Living Room Search and Rescue, is a contest that is taking advantage of today’s economy and giving the consumer a chance at reviving their tired living room. When a living room becomes shabby and worn looking, it can affect the whole mood of the household.

To enter, all you have to do is visit the website at http://www.csnstores.com/angelo_contest/landing_test_page.asp and explain in 25-250 words, how today’s diminishing economy has affected your own living room and why you think it deserves to be saved by Angelo and the CSN Stores Room Rescue Crew.

You don’t have to be a fantastic writer to win this. Entries will be judged on 3 criteria: 50% on your written passion for your living room, 30% on how much your room needs to be rescued and 20% on your creativity and writing quality.

The prizes are:
One Grand Prize: $5,000 - Living Room Rescue Package, CSN Stores and celebrity TV designer Angelo Surmelis will revamp your living room with furniture and décor that includes multiple CSN pieces from angelo:HOME, lighting from Quoizel, Couristan rugs, accents from SEI, Hitchcock Butterfield Company mirrors, etc.
One Second Prize: angelo:HOME Bogart chair & ottoman, decorative wall mirror and assorted items. Valued at $1,000+
One Third Prize: Large bottle green Kartell Boheme vase from AllModern.com. Valued at $200.

There is only one entry per person allowed and the deadline to enter is October 20, 2009 11:59 pm (EST) so you still have plenty of time to compose a winning entry. Within one week, the finalists will be chosen and then notified by October 23, 2009.

You must be truthful when you describe your living room because if you are a finalist, you will be required to email an image within 14 days, of yourself in your living room. The picture must match your entry description! The winners of the grand, second and third place prizes will then be notified by November 20, 2009.

As always, before you enter any contest, read the rules. The rules for this contest can be found at http://www.csnstores.com/angelo_contest/searchandrescue_terms.asp

Don’t be intimidated by this one, 25 words is less than this paragraph you are reading, and 250 words is only one double-spaced page. Use very descriptive words to describe your living room and think of something catchy that will attract the judge’s attention. Now go plop down on your threadbare sofa, put your feet up on that scratched coffee table and write!!
