No Guts, No Glory: IPEVO Announces ‘Scar Search’ Contest Winners

Rewards scar stories with communication prize packages

SAN JOSE, Calif. - October 27, 2008

IPEVO, a designer of devices to enhance the Internet experience, today announced the winners of its 1st ‘Scar Search’ contest.

What began as a friendly contest at the GO211 LIVE US Open of Surfing event in Huntington Beach, Calif., quickly became a sensation among action sports enthusiasts. IPEVO knows scars are a rite of passage for athletes, so the company challenged people to tell their interesting stories and show their battle scars for the chance to win a variety of Internet communications products from IPEVO.

From the more than 4,000 thousand people who submitted their sports-related stories, two grand prize winners were selected and will each receive an eePC laptop and IPEVO FR33.2 USB Handset to help them further share their stories.

Six first prize winners will each receive the IPEVO Pointer Cam across several categories including biking, motorcycles, motocross, skateboarding and surfing. Eight second prize winners will each receive a ST4RT Universal Handset. To learn more about the winners and how they came by their memorable markings, visit http://www.scarsearch.net.

Executive quote

“IPEVO is a young company interested in people’s stories. After just launching our new USB-based macro webcam called the Pointer Cam, we wanted to show people just how close-up to something you can focus and we thought scars at the US Open of Surfing would be an ideal example,” said Ed Lucero, vice president and general manager, North America, for IPEVO. “After receiving more than 4,000 entries at this event alone, we realized what a following the idea had and we decided to take our search to the Web. Congratulations to all the winners, and we look forward to seeing what next year will bring.”
