Good luck everyone!
Jacques
Half an hour until I start telling you who's got what – so get yourselves organised and ready to sit down at your computer soon! You wouldn't want to miss the draw, surely?!!
I’m sat here like the Lord Chancellor of Prizeville, ready to dish out some prizes to my loyal subjects.. and on that subject I suggest you keep both fingers and toes crossed!
You're luckier than Lucky McLucky, the luckiest man in Lucksville, Tennessee you people. What great prizes BeoWorld has waiting for you…
Anyway - not long and we'll start announcing WINNERS !!!
Get the kettle on, crack open a beer, pour a glass of wine, crank up a pit of fire and a large, spiked rotisserie and have a quick hog roast (or just use a large marrow with a hogs face painted on it if you’re vegetarian), use a sledgehammer to crack a nut to see if the saying is really true, then buy a highly trained parrot and teach it sign language.
Whatever, the draw is soon - so Hurry Up.
(I’ve just drawn the names and matched them up to the Prizes – so could YOU be one of our lucky winners tonight?? Stay tuned to find out as you could well be!..)
Good luck to all :-)
I'm Ready!
Anyone fancy a Prize tonight? A little one or a BIG one?
Hmmm..... You decide.
Big please

Hello Everyone... You're here!!!
Let my beautiful Tesla Sponsored CPU go from 0-60 in 2.1 seconds flat and prepare for some giving – for it is far better to give than receive. I keep telling myself that, but always accept my appearance fees quite happily.. from anyone.
Nice to see the regulars here again. I love each end every one of you from the cutting edge solid-state battery powered heart nestled three inches from my clavicle.
And... we're off... it's the Draw.....

9th Prize - Flexible Firm : The Design of Culture at B&O
Here we have a superb read - and a VERY expensive book indeed (RRP is £75 / €95 / $130 !!). It's called "Flexible Firm: The Design of Culture at Bang & Olufsen" and is written by Jakob Krause-Jensen. Jakob Krause-Jensen is an anthropologist and Associate Professor at the Danish School of Education, Aarhus University. His research focuses on the way ethnographic methods and anthropological theory can be used to understand organizations and the life within them in critical and creative ways. This really is 322 pages of very interesting theory, study and evaluation of Bang & Olufsen as company, an organisation and a brand. Fascinating reading - and yours to keep if you win Ninth!
The winner is.. Mr J. Pink (jaypink) from Moulton, UK
Congratulations and happy reading !!

8th Prize - BeoLab 18 Official Writing Pen - Boxed
Here we have a SUPER-RARE collectors item in the form of an OFFICIAL Bang & Olufsen writing pen, formed from stunning aluminium in the shape of the utterly beautiful Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 18 Active Loudspeaker. Boxed, New - and although it won't play your favourite music it really is something to behold as a piece of craftsmanship. Purchased by BeoWorld, in person, from the Struer Museum in Denmark (the only official outlet for these stunning writing instruments) we've saved you a fortune in airfare to get one of these! All yours if you win 8th.
The Winner is - Mr R-M Boenicke (RaMaBo) from Fahrenhauzen, Germany
May we wish you very happy writing!
I'm jealous
7th Prize - Bang & Olufsen Art of Impossible Book
This amazing book takes you behind the company logo and delves into the stories behind each of the breakthrough, iconic Bang & Olufsen designs. There is information on both the materials and manufacturing processes used for each Bang & Olufsen model, as well as profiles on the designers behind each innovative creation. The underlying philosophy, though, remains unwavering: that design must always serve a purpose. Featuring an extensive archive of sketches and prototypes, specially commissioned photographs of individual products in various interior settings, as well as an exclusive insight into the models that never found their way onto the market. A fantastic read for any BeoFan!
The Winner of this brilliant book is.. Mr J. Henson (beorumples) from Chicago, USA
Happy reading!!
6th Prize - Bang & Olufsen Vintage A5 CD Shelf
Sixth Prize - a true collectors classic accessory in the form of the beautiful A5 Glass CD Shelf with the Bang & Olufsen logo acid-etched to the edge (this is the short version) with your choice of A6 ends. We have Maple, Laminate, MDF or Rubber ends available in our BeoWorld Prize Draw stock room, so have a look around the room it'll be living in and let us know.. We'll help you choose! These are RARE now. Good Luck!
Its new owner is – Mr E. Dunne (valve1) from Dublin, Ireland

Congratulations Mr Henson
5th Prize - BeoPlay H3 Earphones - Black
Need a compact travel companion - or someone to come to the gym with you? No, not a tour guide or personal trainer.. it's a pair of Boxed and Sealed Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H3 Earphones in classy Black. Music to your ears (and other assorted poor jokes) and we absolutely know you'll love these! The sound from these is as you'd expect from B&O - pin sharp, and they're just as good for taking the dog for a walk as they are the daily commute.. and the Gym of course. Good Luck!
The winner is… S. Klemis (seanklemis) from Milton Keynes, UK
Happy listening!
PrizeDrawBot:Music to your ears (and other assorted poor jokes)
Congratulations Mr Klemis
Congrats valve1, that is a stunning CD shelf
4th Prize - BeoPlay H5 Wireless Earphones - Charcoal Sand
Here we have a BeoWorld First - a pair of beautiful 'ex-dealer display cabinet' BeoPlay H5 Wireless Earphones - fully boxed. Finished in the rather elegant sounding 'Charcoal Sand' and looking lovely! It's pretty much the only time you'd like sand in your ears, we're sure! With up to 5 hours battery life it should outlast even the most hardened gym-goers, or cover your daily commute with ease. All yours if you win 4th in the Autumn Prize Draw..
The winner is – Mr F. Radde (beo4me) from Frankfurt, Germany
A fantastic Prize that'll give you many hours of listening pleasure.
Congrats to all the winners so far

Congratulations Mr Radde
3rd Prize - BeoPlay H4 Bluetooth Headphones
In 3rd Place this Autumn we have a brand new, 'boxed and sealed' pair of BeoPlay H4 Bluetooth Headphones finished in the classy Charcoal colour scheme. The H4 have a real premium look and feel to them (as all B&O products do, but these especially) and the sound which comes from these will have you drifting off into a musical heaven which will make reality rather disappointing when you wake up with your coffee down your front and all the other commuters staring at you... All yours if you bag third!
Their lucky new owner is.. Mr G. House (gregyork) from York, UK
Enjoy these - they’re gorgeous!!
I'm even more jealous...
Second Prize – Ooh, the excitement as you all keep clicking refresh and praying – I love it !!
2nd Prize - BeoPlay A2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Here we have in Second Place this Autumn quite simply an astonishingly good ultra-compact Bluetooth Speaker. It's a Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A2, in the desirable classy Black, and you can literally take this anywhere! A simple button push, you pair up your device, and start listening to your music. So easy to use - and the sound that comes out of this is quite literally amazing. You would honestly think, once placed properly, this was a speaker three times it's size. This little 'ex dealer-demo' speaker comes in its original box and is in as-new condition!
The winner of this is – Mr A. Kightley (kightley) from Lichfield, UK
Very well done to you – enjoy it. These are brilliant!
And finally – First Prize - a beautiful pair of Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 6000 Active Loudspeakers !!!
1st Prize - Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 6000 Active Speakers
We do love the BeoLab 6000 here at BeoWorld. A really underrated little speaker which because they blend so well into any environment they don't actually get noticed! The sound which can come out of such a slender column of anodised aluminium is something to marvel at - and we think you should too! So, we're giving away a beautiful set of the classic silver aluminium BeoLab 6000's with either the black or silver frets (your choice!). Also supplied will be power and PowerLink cables - and, as last month with the green versions, as a little extra we'll drop into the box a BeoWorld Mousemat and Coaster set. You can't be without one of those, can you! All yours if you're on the BeoWinners podium this Summer!!
A superb First Prize, and one that will give you years of listening pleasure…
PrizeDrawBot:Ooh, the excitement as you all keep clicking refresh and praying – I love it !!
And…. the very, very, very lucky winner of the BeoLab 6000's, our First Prize this Autumn is…..
Mr V. Laustela (lausvi) from Helsinki, Finland
Congratulations to you – we’re sure you’ll love these speakers! We expect photo’s of course when they’re set up.. You have to. It's the Law (here).
