Hi Best Best,

Did you notice that the front page of the VIP Contest says that there you get a 5 MP Insignia digital camcorder and the official rules say that you get a 2.3 Insignia digital camcorder?  So do you get a 5 MP or a 2.3 MP if you win?

Thanks,

Laura

I know you said that winners would be announced today, or around that time but will the list ever be released? Basically I would like my heart broken at once, as opposed till keep crying until Thanksgiving

[homergf1]

I'm with you on that.  I can't stop thinking about the contest and checking every noise my phone makes today hoping I'm a winner.  You are probably doing the same thing.

Does anyone know - does each store have their own judges, or is it one group of judges for all stores? 

[hardcorecanada]

yeah and what makes me really nervous, is that they may just have cut me out because of my mailing address. I used the one when I was at school, but am at my parents house for the Break. I just need to get them a new TV cuz theirs is broken; if my dad can watch movies with explosions and my mom can watch hockey I have done my job as a son. If someone won DC plz post, cuz then I have to go steal a TV or something.

[charlestonmommy]

I know what you mean.  I live over 5 hours from the closest participating store.  I will drive there if I get chosen.  I hope my address did not hurt my chances.

Since I posted, I called the Chicgao store. The person who answered the phone doesn't believe they have chosen a winner yet.  He also believes each store has their own judging panel.  But he wasn't for sure on either as he was a regular employee, not management.

I can only hope none of the stores have chosen winners yet.

[charlestonmommy]

 Well, I submitted mine for the Atlanta store.  So Good Luck to you!

Thank you charlesonmommy!  GOOD LUCK to us all
