Black & Decker – “Work Smart… Get it Done” Contest And Giveaway

Every once in a while you read something written for the benefit of thousands, maybe even millions, of people and somehow it seems like it was written by someone speaking directly to you. I’ve mentioned from time to time that RB doesn’t always finish work or projects around the house. I’m willing to try and tackle simple projects but everything undone is just beyond my abilities. In my back hall and my front closet are about six shelves waiting to be hung. In my living room there is no trim around the windows we replaced more than two years ago.  The worst unfinished project is my bedroom, where there is no trim around the windows we replaced last year and no paint on the walls. Since the walls haven’t been painted and finished and no trim is up that means there is also no curtains in there. Yep, no curtains in my bedroom. That means the whole world can look right in. Yep, if my neighbors got up at 4 am like me they’d get an eyeful. Two eyesful even. When I read the details of the new contest that Black & Decker has launched I felt like one of my neighbors might have written it with my house in mind. Check this out.

Tired of looking at unfinished projects around the house? Does your project list get started, but never quite finished?

To provide extra incentive to complete projects, Black & Decker is launching the “Work Smart…And Get-it-Done” Contest to find people with do-it-yourself projects in and outside their homes that never seem to get completed and to show the interesting circumstances some people are living in.

Black & Decker understands home improvement frustrations and is consistently offering new innovations to provide the right solutions to finish the job.

People across the country are urged to enter the contest as an outlet to show off their unfinished construction, home repair, lawn care or woodworking project. To enter, simply submit one to three photos of the unfinished project and tell us about the goal of the project, how long it has been unfinished and how it is impacting your everyday life at home. Entries will be accepted via www.blackanddecker.com/worksmartcontest.

One grand prize winner will receive a prize package valued at over $800 which includes Smart Select and Outdoor tools. The Smart Select Tool Set consists of (1) 12V Smart Select drill, (1) Smart Select Jigsaw, (1) Smart Select Complete Sanding Kit and (1) Smart Select Screwdriver. The Outdoor Tool Package consists of (1) Lawncare Center ® that includes a String Trimmer, a Sweeper and a Hedge Trimmer, (1) 18V Cordless Alligator® Loper, (1) 18V Cordless Cultivator, (1) 18V Cordless Chainsaw and (1) 7.2V Shear/Shrubber combo. The first runner up will have the option to choose either the Smart Select Tool set or the Outdoor Tool Package.

Entries will be accepted through June 18th, 2009 with semifinalists being announced on or about June 21st, 2009. Top entries will be posted on the website for the public to vote for their favorite unfinished project. Voting for the grand prize winner and first runner-up will be open from June 21st, 2009 to July 2nd, 2009. Voting will be limited to one vote per person.
