Grungy Garages Are Goners as CSN Stores Launches Latest Contest

BOSTON, April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, CSN Stores, the No. 3 U.S. online retailer of home furnishings and housewares, launched "CSNTools.com's Turbocharge Your Garage Challenge," a nationwide search for the country's grungiest garage. CSN will salvage one struggling garage with a $10,000 grand prize package at the end of the contest.

To get this initiative off the ground, CSN teamed up with Celebrity Contractor/Designer Lynn Kegan, an expert at reworking, remodeling, and rebuilding lackluster living spaces. Together they will review thousands of anticipated submissions and makeover one cluttered, outdated garage through a prize package featuring Blackhawk tools, Gladiator Garageworks flooring and storage, Flowall organizers, a refrigerator/freezer, and much, much more.

Just for entering the Turbocharge Your Garage Challenge, all contestants will be directed to an exclusive Deals and Savings Page, that features hundreds of DIY and garage essentials, and even Father's Day gift ideas, from tool sets to workbenches, for up to 20 percent off.

"If your garage is cluttered and out-dated, it can really affect the whole house," says Kegan. "CSN and I are hoping to show people that the garage is an extension of the home and a room that can serve countless functions."

To enter the contest, participants should log onto www.csntools.com/turbocharge. Then they briefly need to describe the current state of their garage and tell us why it deserves to be turbocharged. Entries must be received today through Father's Day, June 20th.

After the first stage, the Turbocharge Garage panel of judges will choose 50+ state finalists, asking them to submit a picture of their garage. The finalists' submissions will then be posted on Facebook.com/CSNStores, where fans will be able to vote for their favorites. The submission with the most fan votes will immediately catapult to top 3 status.

The grand, second, and third-prize winners will be announced in early August. The second prize is a Hitachi Lithium Ion 6-Tool Combo Kit and has a retail value of $500+. The third prize is a $100 Gift Card to CSNTools.com.

Visitors to CSNTools.com will discover CSN's latest site, an online Mecca for DIYers, professional contractors, and casual weekend warriors alike. The site carries over 10,000 products, from power tools to water pumps and gearboxes to generators. And with the contest running through June, the site, with its selection and Deals and Savings Page, is the perfect place for great Father's Day gifts.
