It's only fifteen minutes until I pour myself a glass of whatever I can rustle up from the BeoWorld HQ drinks cabinet, hold it aloft, then wave it in the general direction of my screen to signal the start of the 'BeoWorld Summer 2020 Prize Draw'.
Yes, it's that time again - and how quickly has it come around?! Many of us are STILL confined to our homes to listen to our B&O Music Systems, watch our B&O TV's and.. hey.. hang on.. there's still nothing bad about that?!!
Anyway, put down whatever you're doing, wash your hands for 30 seconds, then dash out into the garden to enthusiastically point to the sky and demand some 'Astral Luck' - I'm all ready to bring my finger down on the prize draw button, thus bestowing some Fabulous Prizes upon some Lucky Winners… BeoWorld.. far too generous I tell you every time!!
So – you’ve got 15 minutes to get the last minute jobs done… go, go, GO !!!
good luck everyone. Great prizes as normal
The time for the prize-giving approacheth....
Get the kettle on, crack open a beer, pour a glass of wine, squirt hand sanitiser on your forehead, rub it in whilst singing the Danish National Anthem, then do socially distanced star jumps on next door's sofa.. I don't know why I bother saying these things - nobody ever reads them.. Whatever.. the draw is imminent - hurry up !!
I’ve just drawn the names and matched them up to the Prizes – so could YOU be one of our lucky Summer Draw Winners tonight?? Chances are, you are..
Anyone fancy a lovely BeoWorld Prize? Botty is here in your very own BeoWorld HQ and is ready to distribute a large pile of Prizes worldwide. It's that time again when you all think to yourselves 'How do they manage to do it?' whilst you look at the prizes being given away. Well, i've no idea - really. It's beyond my comprehension but you lovely lot seem to enjoy it, so why question!
For the equivalent of £2.50 a Month, that's one small cup of coffee from one of the chains, YOU can win any of these - not once, but FOUR times a year. You'll also be supporting the best site on the internet too !!
Back in a few moments - I'm just going to apply some titanium shine to my plating...
Okay Ladies and Gentlemen.. THE BeoWorld Summer 2020 Prize Draw will now start, right here and now! Good to see you all, and may the Sunny Summer Luck be with you all - or at least ten of you.
And we're off....
10th Prize - 100 Years of Danish Loudspeakers Book
Thursday, December 10 2015 is the exact day of the 100th year anniversary of the electrodynamic loudspeaker. 100 years earlier, on December 10, 1915, the Dane Peter Laurits Jensen and his partner Edwin Pridham presented their groundbreaking invention to the public in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.
The next day The San Francisco Bulletin published an enthusiastic article about the event: “Great invention made of Californians solves many problems. The slender tone of a single violin heard about a mile away. The sound operatic Luisa Tetrazzini’s voice reverberating throughout the stadium, and a piano solo resembling the chimes of Westminster Abbey played by Colossus of Rhodes”. The loudspeaker was born. To mark the historical day Danish Sound Innovation Network publishes a coffee table book entitled Danish Loudspeakers - 100 years.
The book has been edited by DELTA and made with generous contributions from the Danish loudspeaker industry.
Tonights first winner is..
Mr G. Macphie (revit89) from Glasgow

Hey Botty - Epic prizes! Let 'er rip!
