Civic Tour Adds the Coolest Sweepstakes to This Spring's Coolest Concert Events
VENICE, Calif.--March 27, 2003--As if bringing the best live rock performance event of the spring to music fans across the country wasn't enough, Civic Tour 2003 is now giving New Found Glory and Good Charlotte fans plenty of chances to win cool prizes, including Civic Tour's unique signature grand prize -- a 2003 Honda Civic Si customized by either one of the tour's headlining bands. In addition to the sweet new rides, fans can win trips to a Civic Tour concert, road trips, concert tickets, passes to meet the bands, autographed guitars, posters, Alpine car audio equipment, Xbox consoles and even a chance to write an article about Civic Tour for a national entertainment magazine's website.
Two of the 12 customized Civic Si's can be won through a national promotion at civictour.com April 3 through September 2, 2003. The remaining customized Civic Si's will be awarded via various media promotions including KROQ in Los Angeles and WXRK (K-ROCK) in New York City.
For the first time in its three-year history, Civic Tour has also teamed up with two major national magazines, Entertainment Weekly (April 4, 2003 issue) and Blender (May 2003 issue), with each awarding a music-lover's dream trip for two to see and meet Good Charlotte and New Found Glory, as well as win a state-of-the-art Alpine CD receiver for their car. The Blender contest winner will also receive a unique added bonus -- the chance to write an article about their Civic Tour experience that will be published at Blender.com.
Alpine Electronics, who supplied the extensive multi-media equipment for the customized Civic Si's, will also be giving away awesome prizes. Fans can visit any of the more than 1,500 participating Alpine retailers nationwide to enter to win a grand prize trip for two to the final Civic Tour 2003 concert in Los Angeles as well as Alpine equipment autographed by the band members. All entrants will also automatically be entered into the national civictour.com sweepstakes for a chance to win one of the customized Civic Si's.
