PODS finds L.A.’s Messiest Garage in Mission Viejo; Winner Receives Garage Makeover Los Angeles (I-Newswire) October 4, 2011 - No one likes to have their mess pointed out, but in this case, Janice Hammon of Mission Viejo wasn’t embarrassed when asked about having the messiest garage in Los Angeles. PODS Los Angeles teamed up with Garage Envy, CBS Los Angeles, KNX 1070 and KFWB 980 to award one lucky winner with a garage makeover and free storage during the transformation in their recent contest to find L.A.’s messiest garage. Radio station listeners were encouraged to upload photos of their grimy garages on the website where the community could vote for their favorite. “There were a lot of garages submitted in the contest that needed a makeover and some serious cleaning,” said Jamie Dietenhofer, founder and co-executive of Garage Envy, Inc. “After taking a closer look at the Hammon’s home, it was clear how much it would mean to their family for us to renovate their garage and give them a fresh start.” Continue Reading

Please read our contest rules from our last blog post (yes, it's been awhile, but we're busy folks over here at Garage Envy... and if we didn't have so many clients hot for our products and services, I'm sure we'd be blogging all day long... Luckily, we have business during tough times).

So, for all you wonderful garage enthusiasts who think you've got the most awesome looking garage in the neighborhood, I personally challenge you to enter the contest and submit your photos of your garage... Let's see if your garage has what it takes to win our monthly contest.

Now... I will say that February did not get a contest winner... mainly due to the spo

tty submissions we received that weren't worthy of the contest according to contest

rules, so make sure you read and review them.

C'mon... if you think you really have what it takes to make your garage into something significant, then send some images our way and you might win a Gift Certificate to our webstore at GarageEnvyShop.com!

Good luck!

Calling All Garage Enthusiasts!

This is your big chance to make your garage famous!

Garage Envy is introducing a monthly contest for a $25 gift certificate to GarageEnvy Shop.com. As many of you know, Garage Envy's shopping site, GarageEnvyShop.com, is the place to go to for all your garage organization and storage needs as well as other products to help make your garage the least neglected room in the house.

Each month Garage Envy will issue a $25 gift certificate by email to the person that supplies us with the the coolest photo of a well tendered and cared for garage (the "certificate" will be in the form of a gift code that will be issued to each winner individually, one winner per month in each category below). No matter if you've had work done by Garage Envy or have created your own truly awesome garage space, what we're looking for is the coolest looking garage based on the criteria below.

Please email your photos as contest submissions to: info@garageenvy.com.

Please be sure to mark the Subject Line as "Garage Envy Photo Contest Entry"

Contest entry allowed via email only, all entry submissions to the Garage Envy Photo Contest MUST include Full Name, Date Photo Was Taken, City and State as well as a valid email address or the contest entry will be deemed invalid. Please see the Contest Standard Agreement / Terms and Conditions.

The Basic Garage Category

CLEANLINESS: A Clean Garage... This one is basic and mandatory folks... we want to see a well organized and tidy garage at the very, very least.

ORGANIZATION: We'll be taking a look at how you organize your everyday garage items... and seeing if you have a proper place for your stuff. Added consideration for inventiveness.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS: We want to see how you've come up with storage solutions for the variety of objects in the garage.. Have you considered racks for the walls or cabinets, ceiling racks or lofts, handy storage solutions for the workspace, things like that... Be as inventive as possible, and that will add to consideration of your photo submission.

The Transformed Garage

All of the above criteria apply, but you must also show:

REMODELING: Have you turned your garage into something beyond the basic... This category is for the truly "garage proud," those who see the garage as something different than a place just to store their beloved automobiles... though this category will certainly be kind to those submitting classic car garages and workshops. What we're looking for here is the extent of your remodel. Design and aesthetic quality count here.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS... Above and beyond the basics, what have you created to store items away... This item demands creativity and cleverness... How well have you hidden things away, while still maintaining storage space.

TYPE OF TRANSFORMATION: Clearly we're lumping a lot of garage categories in here, but for brevity and sanity's sake, and since this is a casual contest for readers of our Garage Talk blog, we'll take all submittals for clever garage transfomations under this particular criteria... Bascially, what have you come up with that's so amazingly cool (and/or offbeat) for a garage transformation... Is it a classic car garage showcase and workshop? Is it a 1950's type design that harkens back to the days when the car was king? Is it a home theater? A climate controlled wine storage "cellar." A kid's rumpus room or Mom's Place to hang with friends on a summer day? Show us what you've got, and we'll consider the best, most creative garage transformations each month!

TIE BREAKER RULE... This applies to both contest categories, Basic and Transformation. If and when we feel it's a tie breaker type situation (nope, we're not working with points over here, just our eyes and gut feeling on what we feel is the best submission of the month), we will break the tie by deterimining if the submission uses Garage Envy products. Let's face it, we love seeing our stuff used in a variety of ways within the garage, but we want to remain impartial on the general contest and will use this rule if we feel there's a real tie in the works for that month's submissions. We cool? We cool! :)

Here's how the contest will work month-to-month:

GARAGE ENVY PHOTO CONTEST

GENERAL RULES / STANDARD AGREEMENT / TERMS AND CONDITIONS

GENERAL RULES: First and foremost, note that all criteria items are subject to change. If we feel something is not working or perhaps we did not define the criteria item clear enough, we'll change it as needed, but it is up to you, the participant, to review all contest agreements and terms & conditions prior to entry submittal. That said, you can submit standard .jpg or scanned images only (please no other file extensions except .jpg (.JPG, .JPEG). Both embedded images or attachments may be sent by email. Image quality is only taken into consideration so that we can clearly see what we're looking at. It is up to you, the photographer and/or person submitting the photo, aka the Participant, to make sure the submission is at a decent resolution and overall image quality. However, please do not flood our email system with huge file sizes. Please try to work within the 75-150 DPI (dots per inch) parameter. That is generally the "fine" setting on most digital cameras and home scanners. Images should be a good medium size for publication. Anything between 500 x 500 -to- 700 x 700 proportional (that's pixels in width and length, folks) will be fine... Try to keep attached or embedded file sizes under 1MB, please.

You own the photo, but Garage Envy reserves the right to publish on the web at GarageEnvy.com, GarageEnvyShop.com or GarageEnvy.com/blog the photo submissions that we receive. These contest rules will act as a release in that regard. We will only credit those photos that have a significant watermark or writing on the photo itself in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner (most digital photo editing devices and some cameras may allow you personalize the image, but it's up to you to do this). If the image is not personalized we reserve to publish at GarageEnvy.com, GarageEnvyShop.com or GarageEnvy.com/blog the image with or without credit. Please do not obstruct the garage image with a watermark or personalization. For a submission to be valid it must be clear, unobstructed and unmarred. All submissions by email, and email alone, must contain the following: NAME, DATE PHOTO WAS TAKEN, CITY, STATE, EMAIL ADDRESS (if you want to get the gift certificate code upon potentially winning, you must provide an email address. Any submission without a valid email address will not be deemed valid), and lastly a traditional PHONE NUMBER (Home, cell, office, as long as we can reach you personally, that's all we are looking for). Garage Envy will protect your privacy. Any entry submissions to GarageEnvy.com, GarageEnvyShop.com or GarageEnvy.com/blog MUST include Full Name, Date Photo Was Taken, City and State or will be deemed invalid.

Special note on "House Identification." Garage Envy is not responsible for identification of your home or garage's location, geographic or otherwise, in entries submitted. If you, the Participant, have a house number clearly marked on your home or at all indicated on your entry submission, no matter how identifiable it is, you have the right to remove it prior to entry submittal; thereafter, Garage Envy is held harmless [See Item 11. RELEASE]. We understand you may have a "house number" or location number on a garage or home. Depending on your digital photo editing skills, feel free to remove "the number," and only the number from your submission by blurring, cutting or digitizing for pixelation. However, any entry submission not entirely viewable due to an overabundance of such digital editing will not be valid. The photo must show the interior of the garage to be valid for the contest. "Photoshopped" or heavily edited submissions will not be valid (be honest here folks, we understand some of you might be whizes at Photoshop, but honesty is the best policy and if you can't be honest, at least be nice and don't send us your heavily Photoshopped edited image. Let's all be fair and we'll be happier for it. And know that we're not morons and we'll spot these and simply delete them as invalid submissions). Please submit as many photos as you'd like of your garage (again, they must show the garage interior). Though we're curious, but not that interested, on what you've done with the exterior of the garage, all criteria judgements will be specifically made on the interior of the garage as a valid submitted entry. Multiple photos submitted can show off those areas that can't be seen by a wide shot of the garages interior, and since some of the criteria we will use to judge reflect inventiveness with storage and organization ideas, we'll be happy to take a look at close up shots of those areas HOWEVER, MULTIPLE PHOTO SUBMISSIONS MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED AS SUCH (all prior entry submission identification criteria apply) AND WILL BE COUNTED AS ONE (1) SUBMISSION. Once again, please keep file sizes emailed to us within reason. There will be only (1) ONE CONTEST ENTRY SUBMISSION PER PERSON (Participant) PER MONTH PLEASE (...yeah, we know, some of you might actually have multiple garages here n' there, so save them for subsequent months, please).

Now for the fine print. We'd prefer to not run roughshod with a bunch of rules and regulations, terms and conditions and yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah legalese, but we must do this, and it behooves you to read it and understand it. Garage Envy is not responsible for mistakes in common sense or lack of reading ability, so there's no claim to ignorance folks... Please read on.
