OfficeMax Sponsors Jonas Brothers' 'Live In Concert' Tour

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OfficeMax® Incorporated (NYSE: OMX), a leader in office products and services, today announced its sponsorship of the Jonas Brothers 'Live In Concert' Tour.  In honor of the sponsorship, OfficeMax has launched the 'Winning the Dream' sweepstakes to give five lucky fans the chance to see the Jonas Brothers live in San Francisco with three of their friends.  In addition, OfficeMax will provide on-site activities for fans at each concert venue, including a poster design and photo station. The retailer has also appointed an official fan advocate to report on all things Jonas Brothers on their behalf.

The "Winning the Dream" sweepstakes will run from August 1 through September 4, 2010.  Fans can enter by visiting www.officemax.com/winningthedream. After registration, entrants will receive a printable game piece to take to their nearest OfficeMax location.  Once in-store, the scanned printout will reveal whether they have won a prize. The grand prize is a flyaway trip and four tickets to the San Francisco concert on September 18.  Five grand prizes will be awarded, one per each week of the sweepstakes.  Daily prizes will also be awarded including a chance to win Jonas Brothers' autographed guitars and OfficeMax gift cards.  With their sweepstakes game piece, every entrant to the sweepstakes can receive an exclusive Jonas Brothers locker-sized school year calendar from OfficeMax ImPress®.  On-site at concert locations, OfficeMax will be present with a Jonas Brothers Photo Diorama and Poster and Card Station. The Jonas Brothers Photo Diorama allows fans to have their photo taken with life-sized, poster cut-outs of the band in a school setting. Once back at home, concert-goers can visit www.officemaxjbphotos.com to retrieve their photos online and share with their friends.  Did you know that concert venues don't allow posters to be brought into the show?  No worries, you can make one at the concert. The Poster and Card Station gives fans the opportunity to show their love for the Jonas Brothers by designing custom signs that they can carry to their seats, and/or personalized note cards that will be delivered to the band post-concert.  

"OfficeMax is very pleased to help bring the Jonas Brothers Live In Concert Tour to our back-to-school shoppers," said Ryan Vero, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer for OfficeMax.  "Fans of all ages look forward to the fun and excitement the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato bring to the stage.  OfficeMax is ready to make every fan feel the excitement through our online sweepstakes, giveaways and tour updates."
