Carolina Boots & Shoes and WorkingPerson.com Launch "Search for American Worker"

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 14, 2006 -
With auditions at The Working Person’s Store in Lakeville, Indiana, or online at http://WorkingPerson.com. Entering is easy: Contestants are invited to register online, then, wearing their favorite work gear, they’ll tape an audition and write a brief summary of their work experience. Auditions can be submitted three ways: in the store; by uploading a video clip to the website, or by mailing a mini-DV tape or DVD to the store. From these entries, The Working Person’s Store will select the finalists and post these video clips at the store’s website.

Visitors to the http://WorkingPerson.com website will be able to view the finalist’s videos, read the entries and cast their votes for the American Worker, throughout November.

The votes will be tallied and the winner announced on December 1, 2006.

The winner of the “Search” will receive a complete “head-to-toe” outfit of their choice from The Working Person’s Store. They’ll also have their video featured in an upcoming commercial to be showcased on both the Carolina Shoe Company and The Working Person’s Store websites, visible to the world. Participating voters in the “Search” will be eligible to win one of ten pairs of “Built For Work” Carolina Work Boots, to be awarded at the conclusion of the contest. Contestant applications may be submitted at: http://workingperson.com/saw/
