Grand Prize: Fame! In OPTIMA(R) Batteries 'Wanna Rock?' Photo Contest

Grand Prize: Fame! In OPTIMA(R) Batteries 'Wanna Rock?' Photo Contest

    MILWAUKEE, July 2 What's your greatest off-road moment?
Climbing rocky terrain to a seemingly unreachable vista?  Plowing through
miles of muddy bog?  We hope you've got a picture of it, because one gutsy
off-road enthusiast will win national exposure and lifetime bragging rights in
the Johnson Controls OPTIMA(R) batteries "Wanna Rock?" photo contest.
    Manufactured by Johnson Controls, Inc. , OPTIMA SPIRALCELL
TECHNOLOGY(R) batteries are built to perform in extreme conditions on the
toughest terrain.  We're looking for drivers who do the same.
    OPTIMA SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY batteries replace conventional flat lead
plates with six rolls of high purity lead plates, individually separated by
tightly wound, woven glass.  The sturdy construction minimizes plate movement
and subsequent damage caused by vibration and harsh conditions.
    To enter the contest, send us a non-returnable photo of you and your
vehicle in the best off-road moment you've ever captured on film, along with a
brief description of the photo.  Our judges will choose a grand prize winner
who will be photographed on location and featured with their vehicle in an
OPTIMA batteries magazine ad.  The ad will run in several national off-road
publications in January 2002.  The winner will also receive transportation and
lodging expenses associated with the photo shoot.

    There's another way to win, too.  Contest photos will be posted on the
OPTIMA batteries website where visitors can vote for a winner every two weeks
during the 12-week contest.  The bi-weekly winners will receive OPTIMA
merchandise, such as a battery or clothing.
    To enter, send a non-returnable photo, a short description of the
occasion, and your name, age (must be 21 or older at time of entry) street
address and phone number to:  "Wanna Rock?" c/o JCI-X29, P.O. Box 591,
Milwaukee, WI 53201-0591.  All entries must be received by September 15, 2001.
