If you didn't win anything last month in our XFX contest, worry not! You now have a chance to win a Slim Devices Wireless Squeezebox! We wanted to see a little creativity for this contest rather than just doing the standard drop-your-name-in-the-hat routine, so contestants will be ‘photochoping’ a hi-res photo of the Slim Devices Squeezebox for a chance to win a Wireless Squeezebox. To enter, you will need to be a registered member of our forums (registration is free), and post your entry in the Official June 2006 Contest Thread. You can find all the juicy details below. Slim Devices has been kind enough to offer not one, but two (2) Wireless Squeezeboxes! The winners will get to choose whether they want the Black or White model. A big thanks goes out to Slim Devices for being such a generous sponsor, and we’d also like to say thank you to Tim Westergren at Pandora for introducing us to the good people at Slim Devices.

• 2 Slim Devices Wireless Squeezeboxes (Winners Selects Color: Black/White)

This Contest is offered electronically via the Internet to all natural persons who have Internet access, and are residents of the Planet Earth. Yes, that means it’s an intercontinental contest.

Employees, officers, and directors of TheTechLounge, its affiliates, sponsors, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion and fulfillment agencies, legal advisors, their immediate family members and persons living in their same household, are not eligible to participate in the Contest. TheTechLounge’s determinations regarding eligibility are final and binding. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.


Participants may only enter the Contest by way of the Internet. To enter the contest, you must be a registered member of TheTechLounge’s forums and post your ‘photochop’ entry in the Official June 2006 Contest Thread. Pictures to be ‘photochopped’ will be provided in the Contest thread. Please make sure to use the “Manage Attachments” feature of the forums to upload the file to our server rather than hosting the file yourself. If you were already a member of the forums before the contest started, you are still eligible to win. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.

What is required of a ‘photochop’ entry? Basically, we want you to use one of the provided Squeezebox photos and do something creative with it in your favorite graphics editing program (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, MSPaint, etc…). There are no limits to what you can do, from altering the style of the Squeezebox to changing the Squeezebox’s surroundings. Keep in mind that entries will be judged by TheTechLounge staff based on their creativity, visual appeal and how the Squeezebox is portrayed (having a stickman poo on the Squeezebox will leave us unimpressed). We don’t want to put too many limits on what you can do, just have fun with it.

You may only enter the contest once. Duplicate entries will be ignored. No more than one person in a given household may claim a prize. ALL ENTRIES SUBMITTED BECOME THE EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF THETECHLOUNGE AND PARTICIPANT GRANTS ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE THEREIN TO THETECHLOUNGE AND WAIVES ALL MORAL RIGHTS THEREIN.

The contest will end on June 30, 2006 at 10:00 PM CST. Two (2) winners will be chosen as decided by a vote conducted by TheTechLounge staff. Each eligible winner will receive one (1) prize. If you are chosen as a winner, you will receive an e-mail notification from TheTechLounge (sent to the e-mail address you used to register your forum account). You only have three (3) days to respond to the e-mail before an alternate winner will be selected.

If you have any questions concerning the online form or how to use it, please contact kurtis@thetechlounge.com.
