Dress like a rock star to win $2,500 cash
(Rockwall) June 25, 2013 – Ever dreamed of being in the spotlight? Rockwall has given rise to some incredible local talent. Now it’s your turn to show off your rock star swag.
Whether you want to be a rock star – or just look like one – Peghead Guitars will award a cash prize of $2,500 to the grand prize winner of their inaugural “Rockwall Rock Star of the Year” contest. The second place contestant will walk away with a new guitar valued at more than $2,000, and the third place winner will receive a $500 in-store credit.
The annual promotion runs through August 8, coinciding with the City of Rockwall’s Concert by the Lake Series. To enter, simply dress in your wildest rock star gear and visit Peghead Guitars to have your photo taken during showroom hours, which are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
“Rockwall Rock Star is about creating a connection between the community of Rockwall and musicians no matter where they play,” said Raymond Jowers, owner of Peghead Guitars. “Rockwall has become very active in the music industry, and is even recognized as the Live Music Capital of North Texas. We want to support area musicians, and use Peghead Guitar’s signature event to shine the spotlight on this hotbed of local talent.”
Jowers’ passion for music led him to open the Peghead Guitars Showroom about a year and a half ago, because he loves what he calls “the unifying effect of music.” He sees Rockwall Rock Star as a way of bringing people together – whether they are professional musicians, hobbyists, or just have an ear or a heart for good music.
“You don’t have to play an instrument or sing in a band,” said Jowers. “The contest is open to everyone, 12 years and older. We just ask that a parent or legal guardian accompany minors and give them permission to participate.”
Although most Rock Star contestants choose to have their photo taken with a guitar, it is not required – and it will not increase a contestant’s overall score. Winners will be selected by attitude, pose, hair style and clothing.
Winners will be announced at RockwallRockStar.com on Thursday, August 15. The grand prize winner will have their picture featured at RockwallRockStar.com for a year.
Peghead Guitars and Rockwall Rock Star are proud sponsors of the City of Rockwall’s Concert by the Lake Series. Thousands gather at the The Harbor before sundown on Thursdays to enjoy tribute bands like Petty Theft, Walkin’ the Line and Blaze of Glory. The complete lineup can be found by clicking here.
“We encourage folks to stop by our tent every Thursday during Concerts by the Lake,” said Jowers. “We’ll be serving up free ice cream, giving music fans and local artists a chance to connect and network, and we’ll answer any questions you may have. We’ll have a lot of cool guitars on display as well.”
The Peghead Guitars Showroom is located at 1520 E. Interstate 30, one block east of Shenaniganz on the south side of E. I-30. For complete contest rules, terms and conditions, visit RockwallRockStar.com.
