Prizes for Entrants and Voters Too
Since its launch in November 2010, the "BeoSound 8" has gained popularity for its superior sound reproduction, elegant design, and versatile placement options, becoming a flagship product for Bang & Olufsen. It has already surpassed 50,000 units sold, making it the fastest-selling item in the brand's history.
Following its strong sales, Bang & Olufsen is now hosting a design contest for the "BeoSound 8." Entries will be accepted via Facebook until Sunday, March 18th. Every two weeks, the three most voted-for designs will be selected by user votes. On Monday, March 26th, a final grand prize winner will be chosen from the 12 finalists and announced. The grand prize-winning design will be produced and sold as a limited edition in stores worldwide.
The grand prize winner will receive their own designed "BeoSound 8." Additionally, entrants whose designs reach the finals, and one voter selected by lottery every two weeks, will each receive "Form 2" headphones.
