Dodge->ke28, in coordination with Contur Cabinet LTF and Swisstrax Corp, is running a promotional contest that will give one person a garage makeover valued at $20,000. While you do have to make some effort to enter, there is no gimmick that requires you to test drive a new vehicle, or even visit a dealership. All you have to do is visit Dodge’s Facebook page and register. Once you’ve registered, make a 60-second video showing off your Dodge and your makeover-needing garage, then uploaded it through Dodge's Facebook app.
You must register and upload your video by September 21st to qualify for the contest. Your entry will then be judged against all others based on creativity and originality, among other things. The panel of judges will pick five contestants to move on to the final round that starts on October 7th. For the final round, those five videos will be publicly displayed on the Dodge’s Facebook page where everybody will be able to vote once a day for the best video.
The grand prize winner will receive a customizable storage cabinet from Contur Cabinet Ltd and customizable flooring from Swisstrax Flooring. The four remaining finalists will receive a smaller storage cabinet from Contur Cabinet. Those of you who don’t own a Dodge vehicle, but intend to vote will receive one entry into a $500 sweepstakes for every vote (limited to one vote a day.)

Why it matters
The one question I have is what does Dodge intend to do with all of the videos that aren’t selected? Perhaps they will be deleted and never seen again. Maybe they’ll open up an online gallery to give every entrant his 60 seconds of internet fame. Either way, I don’t any see harm in entering the sweepstakes. I would enter it if I were a Dodge owner, but nah -- I’m left out of that with my early ‘90s Acura Legend, Chevy Camaro and Grand Prix->ke314. Personally, I hope someone with a '69 Dart with the slant-six like my mom used to drive wins, because if anyone still owns and drives such a gem, it probably needs some TLC.
