Verizon Gives New Jersey Consumers a Chance to Star in Their
Own TV Show and Win a Home Technology Makeover
My FiOS Home: Ultimate Upgrade Kicks-off Summer-long Campaign
Starting May 26, Verizon will ask New Jersey consumers to show off their creative, energetic and unique personality for a chance to star in their own home makeover reality TV show and win a dream technology upgrade valued at $20,000.
Verizon’s My FiOS Home:
Ultimate Upgrade campaign asks residents in Northern New Jersey to create a 90-second video answering the question: “What’s your ultimate FiOS entertainment fantasy, and why do you deserve to win Verizon’s Ultimate Home Upgrade?” Consumers can go to http://www.experiencefios.com/ for information on creating and uploading their videos, or can attend a Verizon event, which features interactive kiosks, contests and celebrities such as Kevin Boss of the New York Giants, and will be held at local festivals and celebrations. Winning entries for different prize levels will be selected by a panel of judges and consumers’ online voting.
Upcoming Verizon events will be held at the Bradley Beach Memorial Day Parade and Craft Fair in Bradley Beach, New Jersey (May 23) and Monmouth Park Family Fun Day in Oceanport, New Jersey (May 24). Additional events will be held throughout the summer, and a listing can be found by going to http://www.experiencefios.com/
Reality TV Show Star:
One grand prize winner from New Jersey will be given the opportunity to star in a 28-minute, vignette-style reality show capturing their experiences – from their initial selection, to installation of their FiOS Ultimate Home Upgrade, to their personal interaction with FiOS’ game-changing TV and blazing-fast Internet service. The home makeover program will showcase real life experiences using Verizon’s voice, TV, and Internet services and air on local TV and online at the end of the My FiOS Home campaign.
Home Tech Makeover Prizes:
Two New Jersey winners – selected by a panel of Verizon judges – will win the Ultimate Home Entertainment Upgrade grand prize package, valued at $20,000, which includes: Free Verizon FiOS service for one year, a 55" LCD HDTV, a 40” LCD HDTV, a 5.1-Channel Blu-ray Disc Player Home Theater System, a surround sound speaker package and a laptop computer. Additionally, two “Fan Favorite” video winners – as determined by judges and consumers’ daily online voting – each will receive a 40" LCD HDTV and a laptop computer. Consumers voting for “Fan Favorites” automatically will be entered for a weekly drawing to win a Web cam.
“Verizon is thrilled to give New Jersey consumers a chance to show off their unique personality through the My FiOS Home campaign,” said Tom Maguire, Verizon's president for the Mid-Atlantic region. “This engaging and interactive promotion allows everyone to experience FiOS’ superior entertainment and broadband services, and possibly win some amazing prizes while having fun.” Verizon is the only TV and Internet service provider to deliver an all-digital, fiber-optic-powered broadband experience straight to consumers' homes.
