Share the Wealth - Contest
</html>
What's the big deal?
<html>
Share what you know about your L1® and how you use it and you could win the Grand Prize, a <a href="http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_PRODUCT_PAGE_EVENT&product=t1_audio_engine" target="_blank">T1 ToneMatch® audio engine</a> <a href="http://toonz.ca/bose/wiki/index.php?title=T1_ToneMatch%C2%AE_Audio_Engine"
target="_blank"> <img src="" align="right">
</a>.
This contest closes on October 15th, but there are going to be Early-Bird prizes
weekly between now and then so you'll want to be participating along the way. The
first Early-Bird draw will be Friday, September 12th 2008.
A huge Thank You goes out to Bose for donating prizes.
</html>
What do I have to do?
<html>
Between now and October 15th 2008 – make a qualifying contribution to the <a href="http://toonz.ca/bose/wiki"
target="_blank">Bose L1® Encyclopedia, FAQ and wiki</a> and your name will be
entered in the draw for a prize. A contribution is something you have written that
would be of interest to L1® owners or it could be a review of your favourite gear
that you use with your L1®. The connection, of course, is the L1®.
As long as your article is about something you do with or connect to an L1®, it
is welcome. Here are some ideas to get you started.
- Noise (tracking down and solving buzzes, hums and hisses)
- Headset Microphones (observations, recommendations, tips and tricks)
- Setting the Stage
- working with tiny stages
- negotiating for space
- working with sub-optimal placement
- Setting the Stage – Solo Artist (suggestions for using your L1® as a solo performer)
- Setting the Stage – Duo
- Setting the Stage – Ensemble
- Business topics
- Using the L1® to generate or increase your business
- Getting Gigs
- Setting Rates
- Getting Paid
- Types of Gig
Write about something like home concerts, community support music in your area, anything non-traditional that could be duplicated in other parts of the country that support the Audience, the Musicians, the Community.
- Out of the Box (suggestions for new owners)
- Gear reviews
Pick your favourite instrument or other input to your L1®, tell us about what you like, don’t like, how you connect it, how you use it, why you got it and if you would do it again.
- Ecosystem – articles about working with other parts of the society that revolve
around your L1®
- Working with other Musicians
- Interaction with your Audience
- Working with Venues
- Audience reviews
Provide a written, audio or video review of your show from someone in your L1® audience.
Those are just a few examples. If you have other ideas – go for it.

Fuzzy details...
<html>
- To contribute – you can write an article OR add to one and you must publish it in
the <a href="http://toonz.ca/bose/wiki" target="_blank">Bose L1® Encyclopedia, FAQ and
wiki</a>.
- Read about contributing to the wiki here in <a href="http://toonz.ca/bose/wiki/index.php?title=Wiki_Team"
target="_blank">Wiki Team</a>
- Note: Once you put an article in the wiki, it can and probably will be edited by
someone else.
- Please keep a copy of articles you put in the wiki. A good strategy is to create
the article in a text editor and then copy/paste it into the wiki. Then make your
edits in the wiki.
- Early-Bird Prizes
This is fun stuff including some vintage Bose related items that are no longer available from my private stock.
</html>
Eligibility
<html>
- This contest is open to L1® owners.
- Prize Draws
There will be a draw each week for an Early-Bird prize.
There will be a draw at the end of the contest for the Grand Prize T1®.
- Early-Bird Prizes
Edit or add information to an existing article and you are eligible for an Early-Bird prize.
- Grand Prize T1®
Create an article or make significant contributions to an existing article and you are eligible for the Grand Prize T1® and an Early-Bird prize. Winning an Early-Bird prize does not change your eligibility for the Grand Prize T1®.

What's next?
<html>
So that's the introduction. Start thinking about what you would like to contribute. Then:
- <a href="http://toonz.ca/bose/wiki/index.php?title=Wiki_Create_Account">Create your Account</a>
- See: <a href="http://toonz.ca/bose/wiki/index.php?title=Wiki_Team" target="_blank">Wiki Team</a> for notes about creating an article.
- Try some edits or enhancements to existing wiki articles. Those edits or enhancements will probably get your name in for an Early-Bird prize. Get comfortable with that and you can go for the Grand Prize.

The Fine Print
<html>
No legal disclaimers here. This is just you and me.
Bose has contributed some of the prizes and is helping with some of the details
but Bose is not conducting the contest.
Prizes must be accepted as awarded. No substitutions or exchanges for cash value.
Duty and taxes should they be applicable are your responsibility.
